BIG HANK POISED FOR BREAKOUT YEAR REPEAT. Remember former DT John "Big Hank" Hankins? He's about to solidify his NFL spot for a long time.

From Dan Salomone of NewYorkGiants.com:

The 6-foot-2, 320-pound defensive tackle out of Ohio State had a breakout campaign in 2014, racking up 51 tackles, 7.0 sacks, 12 quarterback hits, and a forced fumble in 16 starts as a second-year pro. As a rookie, he played sparingly behind veterans and suited up for just 11 games.

“He really surprised a lot of people with his pass rush,” said Robert Nunn, Hankins’ defensive line coach. “Everybody thought that he was a run stopper coming out but those sacks were legit. He had some legit numbers and a lot of quarterback hits and pressures, came up big in some key situations and I really like where Hank is.

“He has got to continue to improve with technique. That is where his big improvement has got to be going into training camp but I think that it is a very good situation. He has got a chance to be a solid player for a very long time in this league.”

Tell you what: Out of all the players drafted under Urban Meyer... John Hankins might be my choice to bring back to help this year's squad.

PRYOR NOT TOO PROUD. It's crazy to me that Terrelle Pryor waited so long to transition to WR, but I guess that's why he's still hanging on in a hyper-competitive league and I'm writing from my couch.

Looks like he'll be entering Browns camp with the right mindset.

From Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com:

“I'm going to give this slash-player deal a chance,” Pryor told Trib Total Media on Thursday night. “I just want to play football. I'm a playmaker, and I believe if I can touch the ball, I can go to the house, especially if I have space. This should definitely open up some opportunities.”

[...]

“The thing that helps me is that I played quarterback, and I know what the quarterback wants,” Pryor said.

“What I've got to work on is the specifics, cutting in and out of the breaks. Athletically, I believe I can do anything on the field. When I get on the field, I may not be the best, but I always feel like I am. I bring that mindset. I work my hardest to be the best I can at that position.”

The Browns reportedly have no expectations of Pryor other than that of a big fella who can run like the wind. If Pryor is willing to put in the work, and the Browns are willing to be patient with him... it's hard to see how he doesn't at least stick around on the practice squad this season.

SISKEL AND WILSON. I heard Jurassic World is basically an extended commercial for Merdcedes-Benz. It looks like Ohio State burner Dontre Wilson disagrees:

Hmmm. It's going to take more than that to persuade me, I'm afraid.

BUCKEYE... BROWNIES!? Remember on Thursday when I said, in my heart, I'm a 500-pound man who mainlines Twinkie cream every morning? I am confident I could conquer two sheets of these things in one sitting in a dark, lonely room.

I want them all, and I want them now:
