This offseason has been promising for the Redskins. Despite losing two key veterans on the receiving core, the team added a younger player who has far greater upside in Terrelle Pryor.
There have been concerns that Terrelle Pryor is raw and may have trouble handling the full capacity of the wide receiver position. But those concerns seem to be irrational. The free agent signing is certainly putting hard work in. He’s also working with one of the best.
Per the Washington Redskins’ Twitter feed, Pryor recently met up with All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown to work on some drills. The former AFC North foes looked to be sharp and focused. Here’s the link to the clip.

Now, Brown is 5-foot-10. And Pryor is 6-foot-4. They’re bound to have some differences in how they approach the game. But Brown is a player who’s achieved sustained success. Pryor would do well to take what knowledge he can from Brown. And he appears to be doing just that.
Whatever concerns people had about Pryor when he first signed seem to be dwindling. Pryor burned bright with potential in 2016. And so far this offseason, he’s not only expressed a drive to improve and a willingness to learn, but he’s also displayed an early rapport with third-year starting quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Pryor’s past experience as a quarterback gives him a unique and valuable edge at the receiver position. It’ll be exciting to see how this translates to the field, given his stellar athleticism and awe-inspiring frame. He’s garnered rave reviews so far. If he keeps up the hard work, he looks like the No. 1 receiver that the Redskins have been searching for.

It’s a tall task that Pryor has ahead of him. It’s up to him fill part of a massive void left at the wide receiver position. He’ll have to stay focused and continue to improve. For a player in his position, it can’t hurt to learn from one of the best.
