NFL May Rule Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor Ineligible For Supplemental Draft

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor’s journey to the NFL might take longer than expected. Not only has the NFL yet to schedule a supplemental draft for the 2011 season, but Pryor might not qualify if there is one despite having announced plans to enter after leaving Ohio State in early June. “If there are no players eligible for a supplemental draft, there is no supplemental draft,†NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email to FOXSports.com on Sunday. “It is for players whose circumstances have changed in an unforeseen way after the regular (college) draft. It is not a mechanism for simply bypassing the regular (draft).†Aiello cited examples of “unforeseen†changes as players who were kicked off their college teams, declared academically ineligible or graduated and then decided to leave school. Pryor’s status for the supplemental draft will be determined by Joel Bussert, the league’s vice president of player personnel/football operations. If the supplemental draft isn’t an option, Pryor could wait to enter the 2012 NFL draft or try to play in an alternate professional organization like the Canadian Football League.

From this thread to God's eyes.

Make it so.

 

Why can't he just be a free agent?

 

Oh well.

 

He would only be allowed to become a free agent if he was ruled eligible for the summer draft but wasn't selected.

 

CFL time! :icon_cool:
