Terrelle Pryor is the third piece of the RG Three. Pryor, a converted quarterback, is in his second year of transitioning to a full-time wide receiver.

Pryor has blossomed from what some said was a raw gadget player or wildcat quarterback to emerging this training camp as a legit No. 2 receiving option for the Browns. The 6-foot-4 Pryor has refined his route running and has used his big frame to prove he can be a lethal red-zone target. Pryor has also shown the ability to beat the defense deep with his 4.3 speed.

Pryor and Griffin have connected on a pair of long “go” routes, first against the Green Bay Packers and then last week for a touchdown on the opening drive against the Atlanta Falcons. Pryor has stepped up given the opportunity with numerous receivers suffering minor injuries through camp.

“I just think I’m one of the hardest workers,” Pryor said this week. “I don’t think anybody is going out work me. Just my offseason was fantastic. That’s all.”

The key for Pryor is to continue to progress as he is still new to the receiver position. If he can continue to improve and contribute, he will be a key piece to the Browns receiving puzzle.
