QB/WR Terrelle Pryor ('10 Rose, '11 Sugar MVP)

From how I am reading events of the last week...

He shouldn't be able to go into this draft thing because his status hasn't changed since the regular draft. He was out for 5 games since Dec, and as the NCAA has said there are no new charges, his status is unchanged.

What is great news for the school, is terrible news for him.

A payola scandal? That's a bit of a stretch. He received improper benefits by trading memorabilia for tats. Payola would indicate he was receiving money to induce him to play, not benefits because he was already playing.

wouldn't payola actually indicate that he was paying Tress to play him when he wasn't the best player?

(Not arguing with you, point being that the author is using it wrong... completely... or... something... I think)

I hope the NFL sees its way clear to let Terrelle go through the supplemental. Though to be honest, I think Pryor would fare better in the regular 2012 draft.

I think OSU would be far better off with Pryor in the supplemental draft.

I'm not happy with Pryor...and I think he took more than just tattoos and a couple bucks from the tattoo parlor. But he gave up a year of eligibility at a place it looks like he genuinely loves, and I think that was to spare us from anything more than what was already done. Now on top of not being allowed to play here any more, he might have screwed up his chance to go into the supplemental draft. Let's hope that's not incentive enough for him to explain why exactly he did leave OSU.

OH Caa-Na-Daaaaaa.... I would be interested to see him play on that larger, roomier field.

The CFL is already a month into its season, so it is highly unlikely he'd play at all.

The UFL, on the other hand, starts in the fall and they need to sell tickets. Maybe he could end up on MoC's team? :biggrin:

Pryor still waiting on decision from NFL
Attorney confident that his client will be eligible for supplemental draft
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
By AJ Mazzolini
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor's eligibility for the NFL supplemental draft might be in doubt as the league continues to review the player's application. But Pryor's unique circumstances at OSU should quell all questions surrounding his eligibility, according to his attorney, Larry James.

James said the quarterback should be allowed to enter the supplemental draft because an NCAA investigation - completed after the Jan. 15 deadline for underclassmen to declare for the annual NFL draft - determined that he would not have been allowed to play in any games in the 2011 season.

"There was just no way that the circumstances with the review would have allowed him to compete in the games past the five he was already suspended," James said. "When (Pryor) signed with an agent, that was a straight-up sign, not to avoid the original draft," James said. "That is simply not the case."

A player evading the annual draft to manipulate where he might be picked is the key scenario that brought about the NFL's strict rules on supplemental draft eligibility.

"The intent of that rule is for those students who are trying to dupe the system to avoid the original draft," James said. "That is clearly not the case with Terrelle."

Pryor was shown the door. His chances of sticking and remaining eligible were rather slim, but Fickell sent a pretty clear message there.

Simultaneous comments in the final meeting:

OSU: Don't go away mad, just go away.

Pryor: I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong. I'm movin' on.

Both: Agreed.

What team do you scout for?

I may well eat those words in a couple of years, but I don't like his throwing motion; reminded me of Vince Young. I don't think he has the touch on his passing game. I think he's fighting against "we've-never-done-it-that-way" among pro coaches who insist on drop back passers. I don't think they've made the mobile QB who can last a season in the NFL.
