Terrelle Pryor…

There is a great article on Terrelle Pryor over at NCAA Fanhouse that is worth reading.

Since last season, I have not been that high on Pryor’s ability to lead the Buckeyes to a national championship this year because of his inconsistent play on the field throughout his career at Ohio State.  In some games, he would look brilliant, but then awful in others.

From all reports coming out of preseason camp, Pryor has improved his decision making a great deal and has looked like a leader on the field.  Like the Fanhouse article stated, Pryor may never look great throwing the football, but his speed and ability to make plays with his feet are more than enough to compensate for it.  Will he win the Heisman this year?  I am skeptical, but he may very well be able to be the leader the Buckeyes need to lead them back to the BCS Title Game.
