With Robert Griffin III back and Colt McCoy seemingly having the backup quarterback position sewed up after weeks of poor play from Kirk Cousins, this seems like a workout that allows the Redskins to have a backup plan in case the injury bugs creeps back through the organization.

From ProFootballTalk:

"Robert Griffin III is back to work, but Washington is still kicking the tires on another mobile quarterback.Terrelle Pryor, the former Raiders quarterback who has been out of the NFL since Seattle cut him in the preseason, has worked out for Washington. A league source tells PFT that Pryor visited Washington today."

During his tenure with the Oakland Raiders, Pryor proved to be a long ways from ever becoming an average NFL quarterback. IN 14 starts Pryor was responsible for 1,953 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, while posting a quarterback rating of 69.3. He also contributed 3 rushing touchdowns.

After a season and a half, the Oakland Raiders saw fit to move on from the Terrelle Pryor project, and by doing so, they may have stumbled on a potential franchise quarterback in Derek Carr who has looked good in spurts throughout the 2014 season.

Following his stint with the Raiders, Pryor signed with the Seattle Seahawks, but was cut before the regular season began.

Even with improved play, it seems unlikely Pryor find himself a starting quarterback in the NFL again unless the cards fall heavily in his favor.
