However, he has made some real changes in putting his ego in check in order to walk away from his QB aspirations, lowered his pride and worked at developing his WR skills. None of the other rhetoric will matter.
By the way, would someone please remind them how drafting another clueless jerk worked out? Quick question. When did Pryor get in trouble?
Is he talking about that silly tattoo thing? Sounds like a guy who sucked at playing receiver mad because a guy with natural gifts took his job. Surprising that two Buckeyes would say this about Pryror. I still blame this guy for getting Tressell fired. Sr is something others refer to you as. We had a very humbled young man recently and now he is finally finding some success. He would rather get cut and be a widow for the browns? Hartline is stating some valid points, Pryor has work to do to change the way he is viewed in the league.
But history tells me to be patient. Give them a chance. The dude definitely can ball and has huge potential. I think Pryor has had an attitude change since those days. He was a kid then. What has he done as a Pro? More radio trash talk is all this is. Pryor rules with even a decent QB Cleveland. Or you know when you have a son which Terrelle does have and when you give him your name which he did then you will become a Sr.
PS, PFT readers are such hypocrites. Then when he does put his name out there, you rip him for being a scrub. He knows the guy. Only in Cleveland. Why is Hartline talking about anyone? And, more importantly, why are his opinions considered news? This x The only place where guys are even more universally loved is high school. Talk about a gigantic red flag about how poorly he got along with people. When as a Pro has Pryor been in trouble? Who said the Browns were going to pay him like a 1? The point you missed is this: everyone in the country knew that drafting Manziel was a huge risk, but the dopes in Cleveland did it anyway.
They will over pay for Pryor and live to regret that, too. Do you understand now, or should I use crayons and draw it for you? Yesterday, Pryor ran. Today, he'll focus on strengthening that right foot.
And, no, fans had no clue just how much pain he was in last season. After wrecking that right foot in Week 2, he could barely cut at all. He literally faceplanted on comeback routes.
He limped around on one good leg most practices. Even worse, the foot was constantly on his mind. It poisoned his game. Oh, the Redskins knew how bad it was, but Pryor also is quick to point the finger back at himself for pressing on.
From the outside, it may seem that Pryor is perpetually "back" with a new, redefined identity. AAU hoops star. Historic football recruit. Ohio State superstar. Raiders starter. Developmental backup. Wide receiver project. Wide receiver starter. Free-agent disappointment. The truth is, he's simply been an eye-popping athletic anomaly his entire life—to be utilized…somehow. That, he assures, has not changed. And others do, too. Nobody can believe how quickly he's recovering from foot surgery, be it his surgeon, Dr.
Robert Anderson in Charlotte, or his three primary physical therapists here in Pittsburgh. Pryor had surgery in November, started rehabbing in December and was running by mid-February. First, he alternates between squats and a kettle-ball toss, reaching rounds of pounds at the squat rack. At his length, one squat rep equates to approximately 3. Then he alternates between hoisting a barbell with a pound plate off one foot and a WR-applicable balancing exercise.
On one foot, Pryor must catch and throw balls back to one physical therapist while another slaps at his arms. He's been zeroing in on each of his five toes, too. One of his PTs, Erica Coffey, is proficient in ballet. I'm not right now.
The room is packed with everyone from potbellied year-olds to senior citizens. Pryor stands out. Eyes flicker his way the entire workout. His session continues on to a drill where a band attached to a wall is strapped around his waist.
Too easy. After a few lollipops, Pryor asks Mike Micca to gun it, and Micca starts uncorking fastballs. One errant throw nearly takes out a woman in an Antonio Brown jersey, but otherwise Pryor makes it look easy. He rips through "explosives" at the squat rack, firing up on those toes. He rips through a side-shuffling drill on an exercise ball. Lastly, repeatedly, he fires out in an all-out, yard sprint…while catching a dropped tennis ball halfway.
Rehab sessions are supposed to be something like a trip to the DMV—boring, tedious, infuriating, necessary—and here's Pryor turning his into a daily spectacle. He asks for more. And more. And, per usual, needs to be shut down after sneaking in an ab workout because Pryor never wants to stop. Tomorrow, he'll hit the pool. The next day, he'll do resistance training. And the next, he'll hit the field. Since coming out of high school as one of the most highly hyped prospects ever, thanks to his freakish height and speed, he has had his every movement analyzed by the fans and media.
Win, lose or draw, he seems to bring out a mixed bag of emotions, even from us in scarlet and gray. This Saturday was another great example of his ability to be such a polarizing figure. Pryor's animated attitude on the field and on the sidelines seemed to bring a lot of wrath from fans. The cameras showcased him being very upset about Jim Tressel's choice to kick the field goal on 4th-and-1 from the 1-yard line. There were also a myriad of comments made throughout the Buckeye Twitterverse about Pryor not taking responsibility for the interception intended for Taurian Washington and his obvious frustration at the drop by DeVier Posey in the end zone.
If that wasn't already enough, Pryor is taking heat for his tweets after the game. Besides making some candid comments about those hating on his attitude, he also decided to call out Kirk Herbstreit for calling him out. Herbstreit seemed to have the same disdain for Pryor's emotion as many Buckeyes did and made a few critical comments. Pryor apparently had no use for this and called him a "fake Buckeye.
Quite the saga for a guy who led his team to a comeback victory and holds a record overall as a starter. So what are we supposed to think about all of this? Well, as for the Twitter comments, I have no problem with fans being a bit bothered. It started this year with New York Giants corner Janoris Jenkins coming after him with this electric tweet after their game:. Pryor had 6 catches for yards that game not all on Mr. Clampz here but still a good game none the less.
Pacman did not disappoint with his performance after the game though:. Granted Terrelle had 1 catch for 3 yards that day so he was indeed garbage. I think as a former quarterback making the switch to wide receiver you might wanna chill on the smack talk to these pro corners who have played the position most of their lives. Totally understand why corners take it personal when a former quarterback says he is going toast you and make your defensive coordinator cut you after he is done with you.
I need stability.
