After watching last night's Browns game, I hope they have interest in TP. Colt had to run for his life even when Detroit's second team lined up against the Brown's first team O-line. Question is, how high do you go?

With that 40 time, I have a feeling it's going to be pretty high. With the additional picks next year, I wouldn't be terribly upset if the Browns could grab him in round 2 or 3. A creative offensive mind can find ways to utilize that God-given ability in numerous ways.

Pat Tillman chose to join the Army. He was not exploited. Terrelle Pryor was given a full ride scholie and a stage to perform on at Ohio State. He was not exploited.

You and TP's attorney could use a dose of perspective.

I think he is talking about when they covered up that he died from friendly fire and pushed a bull shit story...


that said running a 4.38 is WR speed not TE speed...but he should get a shot at QB

Pryor dazzles 17 teams w/speed. Less so w/ arm?
Posted on: August 20, 2011

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor proved both dazzling and perhaps a bit disappointing Saturday in hastily organized "Pro Day" workout at a Hempfield (Pa) high school in front of a collection of scouts, front office executives, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin and even Indianapolis Colts' owner Jim Irsay.

Former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel was also on hand for the workout, showing his support for the player some blame for the program's recent troubles.

Measuring in at 6-5, 232 pounds Pryor wowed onlookers with his straight-line speed early in the workout, posting times between 4.38-4.41 seconds on a soft FieldTurf surface, according to Zac Jackson's Twitter feed. The soft turf generally slows a player down, at least in comparison to a hard turf or track surface. Therefore, these are lightning fast times for Pryor; ones certain to boost the intrigue of teams considering the playmaker.

As impressive as Pryor was running for the stopwatch, he did not run routes or catch passes as a receiver and was apparently less impressive when throwing the ball. While he threw a tight spiral on many of his throws, he also threw a "duck" after instructing one of his four receivers on hand which route to run and there were several incompletions, according to Jackson.

According to The NFL Network's Albert Breer, Pryor completed 27 of 39 passes. Of the 12 incompletions, Breer counted four drops.

Having not been at Pryor's workout, myself, I can't fairly grade his performance during the throwing session. I have been to multiple Pro Day workouts from quarterbacks, most notably Sam Bradford's, Mark Sanchez's and Jake Locker's. Passes rarely hit the ground during these orchestrated workouts with no defenders.

There were 17 teams present at the workout: Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Miami, New England, New Orleans, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Washington.

While the fact that more than half of the league's teams were represented at the Pro Day shows that there is a great deal of interest in the former Buckeye, it also should be noted that there were only a few decision-makers on hand. Most of the scouts in attendance were lower-level area scouts, likely close by due to their normal scouting responsibilities at local colleges during the late summer months. The Steelers, not surprisingly given their close proximity, were well represented. Besides Tomlin, Director of Football Operations Kevin Colbert was also reportedly at the workout. Irsay tweeted that his Colts are "not taking Pryor" though he also mentioned that his team is "evaluating the QB [situation]."

The workout, while exciting, isn't likely to change the opinions of teams heading towards Monday's supplemental draft. I've argued for a long time that Pryor is quite an intriguing prospect at wide receiver. He, however, has indicated a strong preference for remaining at quarterback, though he did tell teams and the assembled media at the workout today that he'd play any position asked.

Is this is a new position on his part? I thought he was adamant about playing QB before?

Just because one example of exploitation is not as bad as another form of exploitation doesn't make it right. His likeness was exploited. Collectively, the likeness of amateur athletes is being exploited. Those is power are capitalizing off of the exact same things they tell athletes not to do, such as selling jerseys, even game worn jerseys, putting them on billboards, etc. It's not right. They need to take a step back and look at how corporatized they are making AMATEUR athletics.

I'm not sure why you're laughing at me on this one. That was my reply to someone else who said learning from Manning would be a great fit for TP. I agree with what you're saying.

I can't see it. Not saying you are wrong,but it honestly looks like Manning dissects every single team on every single play.Even if he could teach what he sees at the line and the adjustments he looks for,that doesn't change another qb's decision making of the actual play. I'm not saying TP couldn't learn something but would probably be completely overwhelming.

I think he got some good PR/agent coaching before the workout, and decided to take it to heart. He said the right things that an NFL guy would want to hear:

He said he won't appeal the 5-game suspension, he made mistakes, and deserves to be punished along with his tOSU teammates. He also thanked 'Mr. Goodell' for allowing him to enter the NFL.

He said he wants to play QB, but will do whatever is needed to help a team.

He said he'll sign with whichever team drafts him, rather than sitting out a season and re-entering the regular draft next spring - something he could do if he thought he got picked by a team that's not a good fit for him.

The projections a few days ago were 4th to 6th round. I now think it's likely he'll go in either the 3rd or the 4th. The vBet closed just before his workout today.
