The Facts: Pryor believes he's ready to make a leap in his development as a WR. "(I'm) 10 times (better than last year),' Pryor said after an OTA practice on Wednesday. "I look at the film and it amazes me, and I give that to (receivers coach Al) Saunders, because just sitting there and doing the extra meeting time with him and him really breaking down certain routes to me and how he wants them run, it's awesome.'
Diehards Line:
Less than a year after making the leap from quarterback to receiver, Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot believes Pryor looks the part. What's more, at 6-4, he towers over most of the defense backs, and several of his fellow receivers. And if Pryor keeps up like this, Hue Jackson -- who drafted him as a QB in Oakland and who was his OC in Cincinnati last June when he was cut as a QB -- just might have one big, fast, dangerous, versatile receiver on his hands. Pryor's improvement has not been lost on Jackson, who's praised his growth and work ethic. "Obviously, he's flashed,' Jackson said last week. "He kind of knows this system. He's been around it a little bit. He knows what to expect, what to do, what not to do. The biggest thing is he's settled down and understands this is really what I want to do and I want to be good at it. He's working at it. We all see it. He's growing every day and getting better every day.' Given the current state of the Browns' receiving corps, Pryor could certainly break the rotation if he continues to improve.
