Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor Considering Legal Action To Force His Way Into NFL

Like another former Ohio State player, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, whose application for approval into a potential supplemental draft this month is now in limbo, may turn to the courtroom to contest the legality of the NFL draft. The basis for any Pryor action would not be exactly the same as the suit brought by former Buckeyes tailback Maurice Clarett in 2004, when he fought the league's so-called "three-year rule" for draft eligibility, but it would have a similar effect, with the banished Pryor essentially attempting to force his way into the league. "Everything is on the table right now. ... All the possibilities are being considered," said a member of the Pryor camp when asked by The Sports Xchange if the player and his advisors were exploring legal remedies were the onetime OSU star deemed ineligible for the supplemental draft. Kudos to longtime league personnel man Greg Gabriel, now a contributor to the National Football Post, for discerning last month that Pryor does not fit snugly into the NFL's previous guidelines for determining supplemental draft eligibility. Wrote Gabriel at the time: "Pryor did not flunk out of school and still has a year of college eligibility. He was suspended for five games this season, but he still could have come back and played in the final seven games and a bowl game. He also could have transferred down to a school at a lower level of competition and played this year, or just transferred to another FBS school and (sat) out the year. In the past, players in the supplemental draft had lost the ability to finish their college careers because of grades or other circumstances." At issue, and still to be determined by the NCAA, is whether Pryor was in fact unable to return to Ohio State, or any other school, for any portion of the 2011 season. If his eligibility was entirely lapsed, he likely will be included in a supplemental draft, but until that is determined, however, Pryor does not fit the standard definition for the players who in the past have been granted supplemental entry.

Hey TP, you should have done your homework before walking away and breaking your promise to return and face the music. You did this to yourself and even if you win the suit no team is going to pay you anything worth showing up to work everyday for.

Asshat.

 

Another Buckeye taking the NFL to court over "draft eligibility." lol...

 

Because Clarett ended up so well in the NFL. Way to try and force yourself into a league where NO ONE can draft you. Moron. That's what an OSU education gets you!

 

Man that fool didn't get an education.

 

He got a bad attitude, free cars, and free tattoos.
