Blake Proehl’s NFL career so far has been the briefest one with a great load of struggle. Despite having an elaborate connection in the league due to his father, Ricky Proehl who had an illustrious career with a Super Bowl ring, Blake went undrafted in the 2021 NFL draft. 

However, shortly after the conclusion of the draft, Blake signed with the Minnesota Vikings. But his NFL dream was crushed when he suffered a severe torn ACL injury in his rookie season and he had to sit out. 

The football prodigy is a man of many talents. He grew up in Charlotte and attended East Carolina University. He was known to be a standout wide receiver at his high school, Providence High School. Even though he had a pursuit for football, Blake always had a keen interest in music, which came to the public’s notice after a video went viral: his first single, “Falling Into You,” in 2022.
