I'm thug as hell I guess, straight Ebay thug.

All of that means Pryor would be outside the top five at his position on our draft board. Andrew Luck, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett would all rank ahead of Pryor, who would be the No. 6 quarterback with a third-round grade based mostly on his potential to move to wide receiver if he doesn't make big strides as a quarterback early in his NFL career.

Apparently the players did sign something with Tressel saying that they will return next season to allow them to play in the bowl game. Nothing legally binding but still even a little more concrete than "my word."
