Glad for prothro . I thought I read he had a restaurant in Tuscaloosa , guess it didn't make it .

Man... that's good for him! that kid could play. I was at the game he got hurt in. I know players want to make plays. but, he should of been on the sidelines chilling. That game was in hand. RTR!!

I still hate seeing people bash Shula for calling a play that resulted in a freak injury. He had absolutely nothing to do with Prothro getting injured. Football is violent and by the logic most use saying he should have been on the bench, then it would have been another player getting injured on the same play. Just like it wasn't Art Shell's fault when Bo Jackson's career was over.

I wish him well, and hope he sticks. He's 32 years old and has had a handfull of jobs. He can earn his place there.

Awesome! We'll try to get to some of our alumni events in town. Shula has always ignored us.

Awesome news. Good for him!

Sounds as if it's currently limited to an intern position for camp, good luck Prothro.

Of course it was a freak injury, but there's absolutely no reason for him to have been on the field at that point.
