Terrelle ready to be a receiver

Remember me...anyone?

Too little, too late.

Hate that we burned a draft pick on him and wasted off-season reps.

Well I am thinking he has run out of doors that are open as a QB, to stay in the league this is his only option, now someone is going to need to see if he is honest and willing to learn to run routes and catch consistently, he is not practice squad eligible so it's a roster spot.

Do I recall correctly that he is six five or did six, ran a 4.33 forty, and started on a highschool basketball team that won the state title in Pennsylvania? Reminds me of a slightly shorter, but significantly quicker, Jimmy Graham. He is even quicker than Lockett.

Six five or six six...

Tyler Lockett

Remember when he refused to try out at WR because, and I quote, "I can't catch"? Did he now learn to catch?

I do, and I thought then that he was lying then, as a stupid negotiating tactic in order to resist being pressured to play receiver. State champion basketball players can catch basketballs, and probably have the talent to learn to catch footballs if motivated to play in the NFL. I sure would try.

It has to be possible...Kaepernick learned how to throw this offseason.

Plus, he is an extraordinary runner, who holds the NFL record for the longest running play for quarterbacks. He did some of these in last year's training camp, so our coaches know him well.

This remains to be seen. Still, nice form.

Probably not, but the reality of getting an actual job is probably a huge motivator in learning how to really fast.

It's a paltry price to pay for the chance to get a hit on a QB.

Honestly, if he'd have worked out -- it would have been a huge win. As it was, the cost was very minimal. Oakland picked up Jonathan Dowling with that pick. There were basically no quality players drafted at that point and beyond. The return value on that pick was basically a camp body anyway.

Now, I'm sure Seattle wouldn't have picked any of the players taken in the 10 picks at our 7th and later. So maybe they could have gotten more. But then again, we picked up Kiero Small 20 picks before. So then again maybe not.

Pryor, as a pull on the prospect slot machine goes, was pretty much equal to just taking someone. With an admittedly higher upside if he worked out.

Terrelle Pryor is now a Cleveland Brown according to bleacherreport.com...

Terrelle Pryor wasn't able to make it work as a quarterback in the NFL. But that won't stop him from pursuing his dream to continue playing in the league, as the Cleveland Browns claimed him off waivers Monday to play wide receiver.

The Browns confirmed the move, noting they waived defensive back Landon Feichter to make room on the roster. Pro Football Talk on Twitter first had the report, and Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports verified that the Browns view him as a wideout, not a quarterback.

Funny... Now they have a WR that is better than their QBs. Typical Browns...

They did sign him to be a quarterback aspirant for a while.

Apparently Ohio State has a moratorium on him being in their campus. But that will be waived for the practice scrimmage that they are playing there. Saw it on ESPN while I was eating lunch.
