Ourlads' Profile:
2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JAMES PROCHE: SMU, 5105 201 4.45. Four-year starter, Dallas, TX. Re-wrote the program’s all-time receiver record book, leaving atop the career catches, yards, and touchdowns list. Two-time All AAC honoree. He is the gamer of all gamers that will always find a way to make an impact. Lined up both outside and in the slot in addition to being the team’s primary punt returner. No receiver in the country caught as many balls as Proche over the past two years. His question will be long speed and that may determine if he will be full time slot or not at the next level. If so, he will need to clean up the consistency of his route running but he shows the tools to do so. Won countless contested situations despite lacking a size advantage. The skill set is dangerous and if he finds the right situation in the NFL, he will be a valued team asset. Has a running back’s body and toughness whether he has the ball or is heading towards a crowd while tracking a pass. Feisty and tough competitor. Always a step ahead mentally. Anticipates the defender’s movement and reacts quickly. Feet are always under him. Can adjust his weight without losing balance, shows tremendous potential as a route runner. Top tier ball skills and hand strength. Attacks the ball with his hands. Good timing and ball reactions. Limited catch radius at this size with questionable long speed. Needs to clean up his downfield routes. May be limited to underneath patterns only which he needs to make more consistent when it comes to sharpness. Needs to be more subtle with his movement against a press corner. 2019 stats: 111- 1225, 11.0 ypr, 15 TD, 17-164 PR, 9.7 avg. No running at Combine-his choice. Third/fourth round. (A-29 3/4, H-9 5/8, VJ-34.5, SS-4.40).
