Former Ohio State and Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has signed with the Browns as a wide receiver. He is getting some help from some of the most impactful wide receivers in the NFL.
It is being reported that Josh Gordon, Mike Evans, Antonio Brown, and Randy Moss have all been involved in helping the former quarterback learn the ropes as a wide receiver. Pryor is 6'4, 26 years old, and 223lbs, he will cause matchup nightmares if he ends up on the Browns roster.
The potential of Pryor as a 6'4 wide receiver who ran a 4.32 and a 4.54 at his pro day has made this change to wide receiver one that most teams may covet in the future. There are not many 6'4 wide receivers in the NFL so if Pryor can polish his skills as a receiver many NFL teams will want his services.
The Browns might not be the best place for a wide receiver trying to make a name in this league, but if Pryor is cut or released he might find himself being courted by teams like the Seahawks, Ravens, or any zone heavy rushing teams. Pryor's size and speed will be able to stretch opposing defenses in ways many wide receivers would have a hard time accomplishing in the NFL.
Pryor's special set of traits could also be used in specialized offensive packages such as the wildcat or other wide receiver screen type plays. Pryor will most certainly be an interesting receiver if he can get his skills to match his physical talents.
