Our trip down memory lane with S Calvin Pryor begins in 2014 at the combine.

Pryor's 2014 NFL Combine Stats:
40 Yard Dash: 4.58 Seconds (T-8 among safeties)
Bench Press: 18 Reps (T-4 among safeties)
Vertical Jump: 34.5 Inches
Broad Jump: 116 Inches

**NFL.com’s Bottom Line:** A big, physical, hammering run defender brings an enforcer mentality to the box and an intimidating, punishing presence to the back end. Is arguably the most violent hitter in this year's draft class and should make his presence felt readily in the pros.

Pryor's TBT goes way back to his childhood days growing up in Port St. Joe, FL.

If you had to draft three of your teammates for your school yard dodgeball team, who would you pick?

Who was your favorite football player growing up? Brian Dawkins. I always looked up to him growing up playing safety in the way he approached the game, the way he had the dark visor. He was very intimidating on the field.

Finish the lyrics to this song: "I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said…"

You're moving to b-…

You're moving to Bel-Air with your uncle … or something like that.
