Terrelle Pryor used to be a quarterback. He is now a wide receiver for the Browns. And after making a 42-yard catch down the left sideline on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is a grand total of four catches and 11 yards short of Dwayne Bowe's season totals.
Terrelle Pryor needs four catches and 11 yards today to match Dwayne Bowe’s season total.

Terrelle Pryor makes a gorgeous 42-yard leaping catch and looks like a natural doing it. #PITvsCLE https://t.co/RFPLi9R7OK

I know Pryor made the catch over Antwon Blake, over whom it has not exactly been difficult to make catches this season (QBs were 72 of 103 for 1003 yards and 8 TDs throwing his way entering Sunday, per Pro Football Focus), but that's still an impressive play for a guy that's been playing this position for just a few months. Pryor goes up and snatches the ball at its highest point, using his body to shield the defender from breaking it up. That's textbook stuff.
Surprisingly, this was actually not his first career catch: he had a 22-yard grab against the Panthers when he was with the Raiders back in 2012.
