COLUMBUS: Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz didn't mean to single out anyone Friday when cornered in the hallway after Ohio State's pro day workouts were complete.
But he let a little something slip anyway.
''They were all good in the drills,'' Schwartz said. ''I think 'Beanie' Wells ran better than he did at the combine. I was up front when he ran and that was impressive.''

The Ohio State Buckeyes in 2009 are going to rely heavily on a 20-year-old sophomore from Jeannette, Pennsylvania. Luckily for me and all the other Buckeye fans around the world, this 20-year-old sophomore is Terrelle Pryor, a 6'6", 235-pound quarterback.
Pryor is an awesome talent. On Sept. 20, 2008, he threw four touchdowns (an Ohio State record for a freshman) and one interception in his first career start for the Buckeyes. Ohio State beat Troy 28-10. He showed ... Read More

The much-ballyhooed dual threat QB from Jeannette, Pa., will enter the fall season as the centerpiece of the Ohio State Buckeyes' offense. Gone is top pass-catcher Brian Robiskie and the bulldozing Chris Wells. Veteran QB Todd Boeckman is off to greener pastures.
Yes, it’s clearly "The Terrelle Pryor Show" now in Columbus. Will the soon to be sophomore rise to the challenge and become the superstar we expect him to be?
What’s the scoop?
Though we’ve been ... Read More

You get accustomed to a lot of things covering Ohio State, but I must say it was still pretty interesting last week to see so many Buckeyes working out for the combine in Columbus. They were laughing together, joking together, and you looked over and said to yourself - first round, first round, first round, second round, maybe second round, probably fourth round, etc., and thought about the several million dollars just hanging out at the Woody.

Sadly for the Ohio State fans, this may be the only time that Terrelle Pryor will catch a pass from another quarterback.
After the Fiesta Bowl, many fans of Buckeye Nation want Pryor to be moved to WR instead of playing QB. This will never happen, simply because there is no one else to Viagra cheap throw to him.
