Pryor starred at Ohio State as a quarterback and ended up getting selected in the first round of the supplemental draft by the Oakland Raiders in 2011.
His career as a quarterback fizzled out however, and the Seahawks traded a seventh round pick for him in 2014. He was waived before the season began, and eventually made the transition to wide receiver where he starred for the Browns and Redskins.
He remains unsigned after hauling in 16 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns in 2018, split between the Bills and the Jets.
