He didn't even make it past the first team who could claim him as the Jags were #1. It would be interesting to hear how many other teams put a claim on him.
Even if Pryor had cleared waivers and went to the Bengals practice squad, it would have been just a matter of time before he was poached due to injuries around the NFL.
The Jags took Kendrick Pryor over Tyler Johnson. Kind of crazy but I almost understand why watching Pryor this Preseason.
That was how good he looked to me.

We aren't hyping him as super human by just saying it looked like a weird move. I get that they see him every day, just seemed like a player you keep when you're not sticking absolute numbers at a position.
Pryor just looked special this Preseason, really hard worker with crisp routes and great hands with quicks and speed.
Also looked smart, something you cannot teach.

Which makes the move that much more odd since he obviously gave Pryor a good enough endorsement for the Jags to claim him over every player available on waivers.
Not that big of a deal just don't get all the love for Thomas, and Brandon Allen too for that matter.
Oh well, trusting Zac is right here
Hope Kwame Lassiter shows well now, but yeah, the Jags could of had Tyler Johnson for heck sake who is a very good
proven NFL WR. Oh well, crying over spilt milk does no good, just thought keeping Pryor on the roster was the safest move
for us to have some insurance in case one of the top 3 WR's go down which is pretty much inevitable.
