Terrelle Pryor among free agent hopefuls at Bengals Rookie Minicamp
The Cincinnati Bengals will have a few players from the area participating in this weekend's minicamp on a tryout basis.
One of the most notable names on the list is former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. During his time with Oakland Raiders, Pryor made 15 appearances completing 56.3 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
