02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Spread RPO passing game that prioritizes quick-breaking routes and relies heavily on yards after catch due to its frequent usage of spacing and mesh concepts.

Slot WRZ-receiverReturner
Best role

Immediate impact as a special teams returner and contributing as a depth, quick-twitch slot receiver in Year 1, with a ceiling as a reliable, high-volume slot starter.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, play-action based system that demands perimeter blocking from its receivers and has limited opportunities for designed quick passes to the slot.

Proehl's quickness and reliable hands make him an asset in schemes that create space for receivers in the short-to-intermediate areas.
