Ricky Proehl played 17 NFL seasons, including three for the Panthers, and as a wide receiver piled up some staggering career numbers: 669 receptions for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdowns. He also played in four Super Bowls, including one with the Panthers when he caught a game-tying touchdown from quarterback Jake Delhomme in the final minutes.
Now Proehl is in his fifth season coaching wide receivers for the Panthers. He talked about his current role, why he didn't panic when injuries struck down two of his top receivers in training camp, and some of the good ‘ol days.
