With the NFL preseason slate fully underway, the Cincinnati Bengals still have several spots on the initial 53-man roster, and former Wisconsin Badgers wide receiver, who was undrafted, is doing everything he can to steal the last spot.
Head coach Zac Taylor mentioned that Pryor had been one of the most improved players since springtime and that he continues to make the most of his opportunities in a crowded WR room.
During week one of the NFL preseason, the former Badger finished with a game-high four catches for 89 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Because of his standout performance, PFF graded Pryor as the second-best WR (91.0), behind only Pittsburgh Steelers rookie George Pickens (91.2).
Unfortunately for Pryor, he faces an uphill climb to claiming a roster spot, considering that the Bengals feature one of the deepest, most talented WR rooms in the NFL – headlined by Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
Regardless of what happens between now and final cutdowns, Pryor has put his name on the map after an impressive week one.
