The questions are how accurate will he be throwing on the run in the NFL, with defenses in the league being so fast compared to the collegiant ranks. With Pryor being drafted in the NFL supplemental draft, he's being suspended for five games in the NFL. Pryor is still paying the price for the scandal at Ohio State, which he would have sit five games at Ohio State if he decided to stay.
