. Calvin Pryor. New York Jets, 2014 NFL Draft, Round 1, Pick 18. . Calvin Pryor - S. Calvin Pryor - S. 3. . player. 849

  • 193 tackles
  • 0.5 sacks
  • 2 forced fumbles
  • 2 interceptions

Calvin Pryor was drafted just eight spots ahead of his Louisville teammate Marcus Smith in the 2014 NFL Draft. After being selected 18th overall by the New York Jets, Pryor's career in the league was negligible.

Despite his 193 tackles, Pryor only earned 0.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions during his professional tenure.

The entire purpose of a safety is to break up and intercept passes coming his way. Pryor felt incredibly short of that purpose.
