Pryor responds to jab from former Ohio State teammate Boone
Alex Boone didn't hold back when Terrelle Pryor's name came up in a recent discussion of the quarterbacks he played with at Ohio State.
The Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman explained in a radio appearance on KFAN in Minneapolis this week he couldn't stand Pryor when the two crossed paths in college.
"Unfortunately I could not stand any minute with him," Boone said, according to Pat McManamon of ESPN. "The kid was so arrogant at the time. I mean, I hated everything about him."
Pryor didn't take the bait when asked about the comments in his media availability after practice Wednesday, simply expressing confusion as to why the words were shared.
The quarterback-turned-receiver took to Twitter later in the day, though, this time firing a shot back at Boone:
I'm a firm believer if you got a problem you say it to a man face not behind back! Guess everyone isn't brought up the same !

Pryor is entering his first full season with the Cleveland Browns after making the transition to wideout. Boone, meanwhile, landed in Minnesota as a free agent this year after spending his first six years with the San Francisco 49ers.
