Terrelle Pryor Shares Steelers Wanted To Draft Him, Explains Why They Didn’t

Over a decade ago, Terrelle Pryor was one of the most exciting athletes coming out of the Pittsburgh area. Playing at Ohio State from 2008-10, Pryor was a dynamic, dual-threat quarterback. However, some controversies in college resulted in Pryor leaving school before the 2011 season. This led to him declaring for the NFL’s supplemental draft, not the regular draft. There, teams ask players if they want the opportunity to play for them. It sounds like Pryor could’ve joined the Steelers but chose not to.

“Pittsburgh wanted to draft me,” Pryor said in an article recently written by Levi Edwards of Raiders.
