It could be a long time before Terrelle Pryor sees a football field again.
The Ohio State star never fully developed into a pocket passer through his first three years on campus, something the high school phenom from Pennsylvania desired when he chose the Buckeyes over spread option-oriented schools like Michigan and Oregon. Now, the guy who routinely drew fans ire for stupid comments, tweets and dumb messages on eye black is under investigation by the NCAA for not only selling and trading memorabilia, but also has car-gate to deal with.
It’s unknown if his 5-game suspension will be increased next season, but the school’s compliance office coming out with a report it gave the athletic department over a year ago about questionable conduct regarding players logging LOTS of new cars, it could be real bad, real fast. And it doesn’t help that he has allegedly shown up in eight different cars during his tenure in Columbus.
So should he stick it out, try to develop a pocket game and play out the string, or opt for the NFL supplemental draft?
One scout, thinks he is so raw, he would be a low pick anyway.
"He would be around number 100,” NFL.com draft guru Gil Brandt said. “Somewhere between a third- and fourth-round pick."
Mel Kiper is on record saying he still projects Pryor as a tight end in the NFL.
Should Pryor come out for the supplemental draft? Is transferring for a year to a Football Championship Subdivision school the answer?
