The Baltimore Ravens pulled off a trade, jumping from the seventh round all the way back into the sixth to get SMU wide receiver James Proche. Granted, it’s not the biggest trade in the 2020 NFL Draft but a move of that size still clearly indicates the Ravens were big fans of Proche and didn’t want to risk him going elsewhere.
When looking at his highlights, it’s easy to see why. Proche was one of the most prolific receivers in college over the last two seasons, catching 204 passes for 2,424 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns.
Not afraid of contact, Proche can be spotted coming over the middle or battling on jump balls, running over defenders that get in his way. But Proche also has some deep speed and his highlight reel shows plenty of instances where he’s wide open, streaking down the field for an easy long touchdown.
Don’t let me tell you how good Proche looks on tape, check it out for yourself below.
