In a positive uptick to what has at times been a tragic story, former Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro is teaming back up with former Alabama coach Mike Shula with the Carolina Panthers.

Cool story: #Panthers have hired former #Bama WR Tyrone Prothro as intern coach for training camp. Was a star for Mike Shula until injury — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 27, 2016

Prothro looked to be well on his way to stardom at Alabama, hauling in one of the greatest catches of all time, one that was honored at the 2006 ESPY Awards as the ‘Best Play.’ But just a few weeks after that catch, Prothro suffered a nasty leg injury that included complete fractures of both his tibia and fibula, as well as torn calf muscles. Though he had multiple surgeries and attempted to rehabilitate the injury, his career was essentially finished with the injury. He was placed on medical hardship scholarship.

Shula, who coached Prothro at Alabama before he was fired, is now the offensive coordinator for the Panthers.
