Ricky Proehl steps away as Panthers WR coach to watch sons play

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Ricky Proehl loves coaching football, but he loves one thing more -- watching his sons play football.

In order to spend more time doing the latter with Austin and Blake, Proehl on Tuesday stepped down as the wide receivers coach for the Carolina Panthers.

Austin is a rising senior wide receiver at North Carolina. Blake, a wide receiver at Providence High in Charlotte, has committed to East Carolina.
