Decided to move on. There will be around 20 in 2019 that won't be on the team in 2020.

Not talented enough to contribute here, no future in the NFL, too far along in his college career to transfer and play elsewhere. He really has no reason to keep playing and risk injury in garbage time against UTSA.

If he really has no future in football, then what difference does getting injured in garbage time against UTSA matter? I don't think XYZ Inc or ABCorp are going to care that he had an ankle injury in November when he is interviewing for a job. What they may not look kindly on is quitting 99% of the way to the finish line in a collegiate athletic career.

If you had the choice between risking a potentially life altering injury for basically no reason, or not risking said injury, which would you choose? Vernon Jackson broke his neck in a routine practice for christ's sake.

The idea that a potential employer is going to give two ****s that Pryor hung up the cleats to preserve his health and focus on academics/job searching is beyond stupid.

Spoken like a guy on the outside who has no idea why it actually happened.

A potential employer will more likely look at this as an intelligent decision that will make his long term success better. I stood next to Pryors mother during the teams walk-in before the Kentucky game last year, and had a brief conversation with her. She even stated then that he was focused on getting his degree and realized how important that was. Sounds like an intelligent young man to me.

You're right. I don't know anything concrete about why Pryor is off the team, nor do I care.

You don't quit on your team mid season, your senior year. Something happened.

Also, when bosses find out a job applicant didn't color between the lines in grade school they be like...
