The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Position switches rarely work, but Pryor, the former QB, is earning rave reviews from his teammates and coaches in Cleveland. "What gives me hope and excitement is just watching him on the first day (of camp)," said receivers coach Joker Phillips. "He's very, very talented and he's willing."
Diehards Line:
Phillips noted that Pryor is "starving to be taught the techniques," while Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden said of the 6-4, 232-pounder: "He's fast, he's huge, and it looks like it could work." As NFL.com's Marc Sessler notes, cracking the team's 53-man roster means latching on -- at very least -- as the team's fifth wideout. With Dwayne Bowe, Andrew Hawkins, Brian Hartline and Taylor Gabriel likely to make the squad, Pryor must outshine the likes of Travis Benjamin and rookie Vince Mayle, among others. With Pryor's 4.3 speed and enviable NFL build -- "size-wise, he's a little bigger than (Josh Gordon)," Haden said -- it might be hard for the Browns to let him go. He's easily one of the 53 best athletes on the roster, but it boils down to production.
