There is a catch, though. The NFL press release warns teams that Pryor would be ineligible to play or practice with any team that drafts until after the fifth game of the season. Commissioner Roger Goodell informed teams in the release that this early-season ban is because "Pryor made decisions that undermine the integrity of the eligibility rules for the NFL Draft" — citing Pryor's lack of cooperation with the NCAA and hiring an agent in violation of NCAA rules.
The supplemental draft, originally scheduled for Wednesday, had been postponed while the NFL reviewed Pryor’s eligibility.
Six players were declared eligible for the supplemental draft, highlighted by Pryor and former Georgia running back Caleb King. The others are Western Carolina DB Torez Jones, Lindenwood DE Kinden Mace, North Carolina DE Mike McAdoo and Northen Illinois DB Tracy Wilson.
Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes following an NCAA investigation at OSU."
