VIDEO: First 2020 XFL Touchdown Scored by Seattle Dragons' Austin Proehl
By Sam Dunn
We have our first touchdown in the revived XFL, and it just went to a kid with a fine football pedigree. Seattle Dragons wide receiver Austin Proehl, son of two-time Super Bowl champ Ricky Proehl, got on the end of a pass from quarterback Brandon Silvers and took it home for a touchdown against the DC Defenders Saturday to take the lead.

Proehl was a seventh-round pick out of North Carolina by the Buffalo Bills, bouncing around a few NFL practice squads before making his way to the XFL -- and it didn't take him long to record his first highlight in his new home.
