"Proche’s game projects best into a spread RPO or Air Raid offense that emphasizes quick throws and provides opportunities for receivers to create after the catch.
As a rookie, Proche could immediately contribute as a punt returner and nickel slot option; his ceiling is a reliable, high-volume slot receiver in an explosive passing offense.
Proche would be a poor fit in a run-heavy, play-action based offense that infrequently targets slot receivers, where his YAC ability would be underutilized and his lack of high-end speed would be exposed.
His proven production and reliability in a college Air Raid offense suggest he can translate his skills to a similar NFL scheme, assuming he lands in a system that values short area quickness and YAC.
