Those outside Cleveland might be surprised to learn Terrelle Pryor has been killing it at Browns camp.
The former Ohio State QB has never lacked physical tools, but moving to receiver — especially on this short of notice and this late in a career — is harder than most people realize.
Pryor has made it look easy at times, though:

It hasn't just been one play, either:
In #browns offensive drills, Terrelle Pryor completed a pass to Dwayne Bowe off an end around right. So much you can do with him

In my mind, #Browns Terrelle Pryor is a lock to make this team. Natural pass-catcher and so much more.

Unfortunately, this is still the Cleveland Browns we're talking about. In typical Brownie fashion, Pryor came up lame with a tweaked hammy after a play:

Browns fans avoided ultimate disaster, as did fans hoping to see Pryor's return to the Horseshoe on Friday:
#Browns WR Terrelle Pryor said hammy tightened but didn't pull it. Said he may miss day of practice but expects to be ready Fri at the Shoe.

Pryor also showed some good-spirited humor when teased by teammates about an errant throw off an end-around:

Overall, the Browns may have just struck gold. Pryor himself seems in great spirits about the move:

The Browns will be in Columbus Friday night for a "sold-out" scrimmage at Ohio Stadium. Gates open up at 4:30.
