Terrelle Pryor Draws Interest From Cowboys
Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is holding a pro day for
NFL scouts on Friday if he is ruled eligible for the supplemental draft
and the Dallas Cowboys are planning on attending. However Tuesday
afternoon Pryor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that no decision had been
reached regarding his eligibility.
The supplemental draft is currently scheduled to be held August 17th in Pittsburgh and the Cowboys will have the ninth pick.
According to local papers both the Cleveland Browns and the Washington Redskins will also attend the pro day.
The
Cowboys have a history of using the supplemental draft, last year's
pick Josh Brent was taken in the seventh round and remains on the
roster. Currently starting quarterback Tony Romo is being backed by Jon
Kitna, stephen McGee and Tom Brandstater so checking out Pryor is less
of a necessity than it is general research.
Pryor is attempting
to enter the supplemental draft after deciding to forgo his senior
season while under investigation from the NCAA. He had already been
suspended the first five games of the season for accepting improper
benefits like discount tattoos and the scandal eventually led to head
coach Jim Tressel's resignation.
