Round 6: James Proche, SMU
The Patriots were in love with Proche at the Senior Bowl, according to Pro Football Network. But their perspective might have changed slightly when he ran a 7.27-second 3-cone drill. That’s not good by their standards. But in Round 6, teams have to stomach all sorts of deficiencies. Perhaps they’ll get past that one, in part because he had 209 catches and 27 touchdowns over the last two years. His ability to highpoint the ball and catch with ease is impressive.
