7. Terrelle Pryor, wide receiver, Cleveland Browns
This article is about stars and Pryor was definitely one of the brighter shining ones for Cleveland in 2016. It doesn’t matter that the Browns scoured up just one sad win, because Pryor gave it his all. In his debut as a receiver, Pryor managed 77 catches for a total of 1,007 yards and four touchdowns.
That’s not bad considering he had been used to playing from the opposite end of the ball since the start of his NFL career. Furthermore, Pryor had three different quarterbacks throwing to him all season long. That in itself stinks.
Pryor more than proved he can handle NFL life as a pass-catcher during the 2016 season. The 27 year-old quarterback-turned-receiver only earned 1.671 million. His accomplishments call for a big raise looking ahead. We aren’t talking Antonio Brown money, but Pryor stands to bank with either Cleveland or another club in 2017.
