Former Jets receiver Terrelle Pryor reportedly was arrested last month and is facing drug charges in Pennsylvania.
Pryor, 36, was a back-seat passenger in a black Mercedes with tinted windows that police pulled over for speeding on May 24, according to WPXI, citing a criminal complaint. He was charged with drug possession.
The former Ohio State star was discovered lying in the backseat in an “odd” manner and breathing heavily, police said.
Police spotted a rifle on the floor of the car. While attempting to show the concealed carry permit in his wallet, Pryor allegedly revealed a bag containing a white powdery substance thought to be MDMA, according to the report.
The third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft withdrew from Ohio State rather than serve a suspension stemming from selling memorabilia and trading autographs for tattoos in a time before college athletes were entitled to NIL deals.
Pryor spent three seasons with the Raiders and bounced around as a backup quarterback until he was converted to receiver by the Browns in 2016.
He instantly delivered a 1,000-yard season, but the success wasn’t sustainable.
Pryor last played in the NFL in 2018, splitting time between the Jets (six games) and Bills (two).
Since then, Pryor reportedly has had multiple run-ins with the law.
Pryor was stabbed and arrested following a domestic incident in 2019.
Two years later, he was charged with simple assault, harassment and damaging property.
