Rookie Wide Receiver James Proche Thrives on Competition

James Proche has always stood out, even when other wide receivers were faster, bigger or more highly regarded. He believes the same will hold true in the NFL.

Proche was the nation's co-leader in receptions (111) at SMU last season, coming off a junior season in which he caught 93 passes. That high-volume production is a major reason the Ravens traded up in the sixth round from No. 229 to 201 to draft Proche.

He is unfazed by being the 29th receiver selected in a draft that was extremely deep at his position, and he strongly believes he'll outproduce many of the wideouts who were chosen earlier.

"What it boils down to is that I'm a competitor," Proche said during a recent videoconference. "That's what they're going to put on my gravestone. The higher the returns, the higher I rise."
