Coming literally at the end of this month, June 30, ESPN will air a one hour special “QB Camp” hosted by Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden. He’ll be talking with former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The special will show Gruden coaching Pryor on the particulars of being an NFL quarterback. They’ll also show the two in the film room, a feature that has become popular with this guy. And I’m sure Gruden will throw in a few “This guy” references in as well. In addition, Gruden will talk with Pryor about his time at Ohio State and his former coach Jim Tressel who had to resign in disgrace earlier this month.
We have the press release and an excerpt from the special which will be hosted by Rece Davis.
ESPN Announces Gruden’s QB Camp – Terrelle Pryor
One-hour special on Thursday, June 30 at 9 p.m. ET
ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden will conduct a one-on-one film session and workout with former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the hour-long special Gruden’s QB Camp – Terrelle Pryor on Thursday, June 30, at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN (re-airing at 10 p.m. on ESPN2). Excerpts from the special will be presented on SportsCenter beginning Monday, June 27.
An ESPN crew shot the Gruden-Pryor meeting Monday at Gruden’s office in Tampa and at the practice facility at the University of South Florida.
ESPN college football anchor Rece Davis will host the one-hour special. In addition to offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at Pryor’s film session with Gruden, Davis will provide a timeline and perspective on the events at Ohio State that forced head coach Jim Tressel’s resignation and eventually lead to Pryor’s decision to forgo his final year of eligibility and make himself eligible for the NFL’s supplementary draft.
Pryor is the latest NFL prospect to step into the film room at Gruden’s affectionately termed Fired Football Coaches Association (FFCA) offices. ESPN’s Super Bowl-winning head coach turned MNF analyst has also met with NFL Draft prospects the past two years, including Heisman Trophy winners Sam Bradford, Cam Newton and Tim Tebow. Gruden also conducted a similar session with Super Bowl XLIV champions Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton for Gruden’s Champ Camp– A Visit with the Super Saints in August 2010.
And here’s a preview.
That will do it.
