As it stands today, current Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor can apparently apply for the NFL’s supplemental draft if he decides he either doesn’t want or won’t be allowed to be the Buckeyes quarterback this season.
So that five-game NCAA suspension that Pryor was supposedly going to serve at the start of school year for his rather sizable role in Tattoo-gate? Fuhgetaboutit.
That far more serious NCAA penalty that could be forthcoming for Pryor’s mysterious ability to drive six different vehicles over the past three years and receive traffic citations in three of those rides despite having no visible income and a recently suspended license? Fuhgetaboutthat, too.
Assuming Pryor applies and the NFL follows through with the curious draft it first began staging in 1977, Priors Pryor will pretty much pay no personal penalty for his role in battering the Bucks.
He’ll just pack up whatever mementoes he hasn’t already sold to boosters, say hello to life and good-bye to Columbus and move on to the pros, where his cars, tattoos and controversial collegiate career will be far more the rule than the exception.
