Terrelle Pryor giving wide receiver a shot with Browns
Signed by the Cleveland Browns as a wide receiver, former quarterback Terrelle Pryor is hoping to do more than just be a wide receiver.
Apparently, he wants to still play quarterback.
"I'm going to give this slash-player deal a chance," Pryor told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I just want to play football. I'm a playmaker, and I believe if I can touch the ball, I can go to the house, especially if I have space. This should definitely open up some opportunities."
Pryor, a former Ohio State standout, still wants to play quarterback. However, that's not why the Browns signed him..
"That was my position. That's my heart. That's what I trained for," Pryor said. "Yeah, I'm human. It's just like everybody else. I never thought of quitting. I kept working hard, thinking that my time is going to come. I work too hard. I don't think anyone can outwork me. I spend a lot of time on my craft. I don't really think of it like that. One of these days I'm going to get an opportunity and break through.
"The thing that helps me is that I played quarterback, and I know what the quarterback wants. What I've got to work on is the specifics, cutting in and out of the breaks. Athletically, I believe I can do anything on the field. When I get on the field, I may not be the best, but I always feel like I am. I bring that mindset. I work my hardest to be the best I can at that position."
