While his professional career has been that of a journeyman, Pryor was a national star in high school and college. However, his time at Ohio State ended in scandal.
Late in the 2010 season, Pryor and some of his Ohio State teammates were found to have broken NCAA rules by trading their equipment, memorabilia and autographs for tattoos at a shop in the Columbus area.
With allegations of more possible violations mounting and the possibility of a being ruled ineligible, Pryor decided to skip his senior season and leave Ohio State in June 2011. He was selected in the NFL’s supplemental draft later that month by the Oakland Raiders.
Pryor has played for the Raiders, Browns, Redskins, Jets and Bills. He was released by the Jaguars earlier this year and is currently a free agent.
Pryor was the starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2008 to 2010, winning the Big Ten Championship twice.
He is a native of Jeannette, Pennsylvania.
