Terrelle Pryor: “never knew how to throw a football before”
By Mike Dyce
Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor said something that most quarterbacks probably shouldn’t be saying, especially at the NFL level. Pryor is saying that he has finally learned how to throw a football.
“I never really knew how to throw a football before,” Pryor said Sunday, via the Bay Area News Group. “It’s coming along. I’m getting way better. I probably missed four or five throws out of 80, 85 throws today. I might ice my arm as a precaution tonight, but it feels great.”
I guess that is a good sign for Raider nation as they figure out who will be there starting quarterback. Pryor hired quarterback coach Tom House, a former Major League pitcher, who also coached a certain Hall of Fame lock named Tom Brady.
Terrelle Pryor is considered by most to be a distant third and long shot to win the starting quarterback job despite learning how to throw a football. His athleticism though makes him a player you need on the field. The Oakland Raiders have suggested that certain packages will get the ball to Pryor on the edge where he can utilize his ability to throw and run.
You know, know that he knows how to throw.
