Pryor and the Raiders

[Dale]

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor may have worn the number 2 with some distinction — at least until he got pinched for accepting impermissible benefits and eventually applied for the supplemental draft — but when the Oakland Raiders recently selected Pryor in the third round of that draft, they wanted Pryor to have no part of his old jersey number.
Not because of anything Pryor had done, you understand — this restriction was more about the player who wore that number before — 2007 first overall pick and all-time mega-bust JaMarcus Russell.
