WR- Terrelle Pryor Sr.

Terrelle Pryor Sr. is the undisputed brightest star for the Cleveland Browns. The quarterback-turned-star-wideout and Ohio State product is a leader for the Browns and produces like a season-vet.

His 2016 totals of 62 receptions, 855 receiving yards and four touchdowns are mind-blowing. This season is Pryor’s first full-time gig at the position. What he is doing is nothing short of remarkable.

Those 62 catches? Good enough for 12th among NFL receivers.

The 855 receiving yards? Eighth among receivers and just 60 yards shy of Giants superstar Odell Beckham Jr.

His 6-foot-4 frame and raw athletic ability have translated perfectly to the position. Pro Football Focus reiterates what is already a known-fact– Pryor can play. He ranks 13th at the position in total snaps (672), and ranks 8th in receiving rating (84.6). His overall player rating of 82.1 is 17th among NFL wideouts, bogged down by his 72.0 blocking rating (69th).

The Cleveland Browns absolutely, positively need to pay Pryor. He’s a fan favorite and obviously on the cusp of being a dominating force in the NFL.
