Former University of North Carolina wide receiver Austin Proehl has a new home in the National Football League.
After being drafted and then waived by the Buffalo Bills, Proehl was signed to the Tennessee Titans practice squad. But after having his contract terminated, he had to find a new team and while it took some time, he’s finally landed on a practice squad.
The Los Angeles Rams announced on Tuesday that they have signed Proehl to their practice squad and terminated the contract of wide receiver Steven Mitchell. There’s some significance to this signing outside of the Rams just adding a wide receiver to the practice squad.
