Troy Smith tells Pryor: Run more
Thursday, October 29, 2009

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Troy Smith, who won a Heisman Trophy as a pocket passer at Ohio State, might have played a role in persuading Terrelle Pryor to resume running more often.
Smith, now with the Baltimore Ravens, said he talked to Pryor earlier this season, when Pryor appeared to be trying to emulate Smith's 2006 senior season but was struggling.
"I told him there were certain things he had to get back to, when you were that athletic guy making plays," Smith said. "I told him he had to get back to that mentality."
That seems ironic, considering Smith worked hard to evolve from a scrambler to a pocket passer.
"I told him that stuff (the passing) would come, he just needed to go back to being the player he is," Smith said. "From my vantage point, the sky is the limit with him. He has a chance to be a hundred times better than I ever was there."
Smith said he exchanges occasional text messages with Pryor, and the two talk by phone every few weeks.
