Pryor Might Not Be Eligible For Supplemental Draft
Sep 11, 2014 9:23 PM
It turns out that former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor may not be eligible for the still unscheduled supplemental draft.
"If there are no players eligible for a supplemental draft, there is no supplemental draft," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. "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]."
The usual examples of such circumstances would be academic ineligibility, getting kicked off a team or graduating and deciding to leave school. Pryor does not qualify on any of those fronts as he was suspended, not ineligible, for part of the 2011 season.
