Possibly my favorite picture of Pryor, more than the flying pic or stiff arm. Immediately after Pryor dashed right for the opening TD, he gathered the leaders of the defense (all upperclassmen) to keep it going. The leadership and presence he brings for a pup is unreal.

that is a cool pic. TP is becoming the leader of this team, not just the leader of the offense.

Even that video interview that someone posted is impressive. I also laughed at the comment when someone asked him about his speed. He just said he's got more and then said he was jogging on the 1 yd TD run. Priceless. At least in interviews he seems to have a lot of maturity.

[sarcasm]It's a shame that a kid with this much talent is so lacking in confidence[/sarcasm]
Anyone notice the closeup shot of him looking to the sidelines for the play call and him acknowledging it with a simple wink?

Great day to be a Buckeye

That's an awesome picture. I've noticed how excited and animated he is on the field and the sidelines. I love seeing that. I know not every leader is firery..but I love seeing TP jumping up and down and getting in guys faces.
I've noticed a few times (even after scores) that only a few guys are jumping up and down and celebrating with their buddies. TP is always down there celebrating. Maybe because he's young and new with this college stuff, but I for one think his excitement is nothing but good for the Buckeyes.

Me too. I like that Tressel preaches class and acting like you've been there and done that but I think he harps on it a little too much. Our players looked like robots. Whether we just had a horrible play or excellent play, there was no emotion. With Terrelle, the team's having some fun, loosening up, and playing with some passion and that's a big reason why we're playing better.

eh leave VY and his mental state alone he was a class act while against us.....
Speaking of VY if pryor keeps it up people won't even remember him. They'll just remember #2 from the buckeyes. The fact that he doesn't turn the ball over and do stupid things with the ball is just beyond me though. He doesn't gamble and try to get the extra yard he just simply will spin out of trouble and run for 8 yards and get outta bounds. This week the true test of his decision making will be on display, and hopefully he'll pass that test. I'm expecting growing pains, but man I dunno if he's going to have that many?

[sarcasm]Mark May will be enough adversity for Terrelle Pryor.[/sarcasm]
Seriously though, everyone I have talked to has said that TP just has the right attitude when it comes to what he is doing. When he goes out on campus, he goes to talk to people. He is just enjoying the ride.

That is awesome. Seems like he really gets it and wants to be the leader. It's always great to see kids step up like this and relish the leadership opportunity. You don't see that often.
Also, just looking at that picture, Pryor seems hella tall. Even without his helmet he's as tall or taller than everyone in the huddle except for, I think that's Worthington. Kid's huge.

Pryor inherits pressure cooker from James
by Bill Livingston Monday September 29, 2008, 9:25 PM
Marvin Fong, The Plain DealerSo far, Ohio State freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor seems to be handling the hype surrounding him pretty well.
John Kuntz, Plain Dealer File PhotographLeBron James has lived up to expectations since joining the Cavaliers right out of high school in 2003.
He was the most publicized basketball player in the world even before he was a Cavaliers rookie. Although there has been no NBA championship, LeBron James has done little but exceed expectations. He was the most-publicized freshman football player in the country. With Ohio State, although there was a national championship, running back Maurice Clarett became someone who did little but spoil his own life and hurt those who believed in him. He is serving at least 3? years in prison in Toledo for aggravated robbery.
He is the most-publicized freshman football player in the country. Although there will almost certainly be no national championship this year at Ohio State, quarterback Terrelle Pryor has to balance the hype that already surrounds him and the humility that inevitably will come.
Pryor might be the biggest prodigy in the state of Ohio since James, who was the biggest since Bob Feller in the 1930s.
Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry arrived two years into the James era. He, along with James and teammate Daniel "Boobie" Gibson, see Pryor as a lookalike and play-alike for former Texas quarterback Vince Young, who took the Longhorns to the 2005 national championship. He beat a Clarett-less OSU team along the way.
Gibson went to Houston's Dowling Middle School with Young. "Terrelle Pryor definitely reminds me of Vince the way he moves. Vince is a great athlete. He could dunk. He also threw full-court passes, like in football," Gibson said.
