crafty Tar Heel slot threat with a clutch pedigree
In the 2016 season, Austin Proehl was a productive, high-efficiency target for North Carolina, finishing with 43 catches for 597 yards and 3 touchdowns; in the 2017 season, he was UNC’s leading receiver through four games before a season-ending clavicle injury[14][6][9]. His game stood out less for size and more for quickness, route savvy, and return value, which fit the Tar Heels’ offense well[7][15]. The big question for any team: when healthy, he brought dependable separation and toughness, but his injury history is a real consideration.
