Hopefully his sons are as awesome as he was and end up on the Rams some day. Still can't watch "The Catch" without getting emotional.

Good for him. Nothing wrong with a guy putting family in front of career.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Not ashamed to admit it, I just got goosebumps watching that play.

Wow...ricky played 17 seasons? Geez!

Couple of receivers on our team need to look him up...

 

[Mackeyser]

No doubt... and he knew how to actually be a clutch receiver... hands catcher when that was the play.... body when that was the play... very low drop rate...good route runner, good body control.

The man knew his craft. He wasn't a height/weight/speed guy. He was just a good football player.

Always like Rickey and thought it was good sign by the Rams. Didn't know he would make one of the biggest plays in Rams history. Great videos! Good luck to Ricky Proehl and Family!

Good luck to Ricky Proehl. Nothing wrong with prioritizing family.

Able to "retire" at 48 to be with his family
Good on ya Ricky

Their mantra: "gotta go to work." What a great damn team that was.
