Talent is always appreciated; a multi-talented former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver free agent, Blake Proehl, got the Golden Ticket in the American Idol season 22, which started yesterday, February 22, 2024.
Blake Proehl was the wide receiver who played for the Minnesota Vikings from 2021 to 2022. Unfortunately, he would never play and run on the NFL field after his torn injury. After a huge setback, he was fully demotivated and went through an adamant time in this phase of life.
During this time, Proehl started learning music and playing instruments like guitar and piano. One day, he posted a video where he sang a song on guitar and dedicated it to his grandma sitting behind him. The video went viral; he got a new hope to try his luck with his passion for singing and music.
Proehl went to American Idol 22 auditions, got selected by all the judges, and got the golden ticket to the next round. He is an amazingly talented singer who was confident in his singing skills.
Katy Perry already said he will be in the top 10 this season.

Blake Proehl Injury
In August 2021, during joint practices with the Denver Broncos, Proehl suffered a major setback, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a non-contact drill. This devastating injury sidelined him for the entire 2021 NFL season, necessitating surgery and intensive rehabilitation. However, after a determined journey of recovery, he was finally cleared and activated from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list in 2022.
Later, due to his injury, doctors advised him never to play football again. Then, he started learning music and decided to pursue a music career.
