Bills add Austin Proehl to receiver room in 7th round

The Buffalo Bills have selected wide receiver Austin Proehl out of North Carolina with the 255th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The 5-foot-10 senior, who is the son of longtime NFL receiver Ricky Proehl, had 21 catches for 337 yards and a touchdown in an injury-plagued final season with the Tar Heels.

While he won't have a major role with the Bills, Proehl could see time as a special teams player or possession receiver in certain sets next season.
