The Case For Terrelle Pryor:

Terrelle Pryor is a wide receiver that is just beginning to blossom. Pryor is a younger receiver that could end up being a long-term solution for the Ravens receiving needs. What I like about Pryor is that he gives you a little bit of everything. He’s a big bodied possession receiver that can beat you deep. The Browns were terrible last year (nothing new there). Pryor still put up 1,077 receiving yards. Anything you can do in Cleveland, you can do better in Baltimore (example, winning Super Bowls).

Before the season ended Thomas Moore of FanSided’s Dawg Pound Daily, wrote a great post that talked about Terrelle Pryor. This is what Moore said, that caught my attention:

"“Pryor deserves as much credit as anyone can bestow on him for his work ethic in transforming himself from an out-of-the-NFL quarterback into a starting wide receiver. With two games remaining in the 2016 season, Pryor leads the Browns in receptions (67), yards (877) and touchdown receptions (4).”"

Pryor Is A Game Changer:

What Moore said about Pryor is so cool. That’s what is so exciting. Pryor is a natural at the wide receiver position. In his first season doing it full-time, he put up big time numbers. He put up these big time numbers with Josh McCown and Cody Kessler throwing the football. The Ravens could be an upgrade for Pryor in every which way. In a better situation, he could go off on the rest of the league.

Pryor checks all the boxes at the wide receiver position. If the Ravens signed Marshall they’d have a player for three years at the most. If they would sign Pryor, they could have a player that could wear the purple and black for a long time.
