And the Seahawks&#8217; performance in the Super Bowl certainly showed the benefit of aggressive, big-hitting safety play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weaknesses<\/strong>: Has a tendency to play recklessly and sometims overpursue as he seeks to deliver a knockout blow. Also didn&#8217;t play a ton of man-to-man coverage in college.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pryor recorded 75 tackles, had three interceptions, and two forced fumbles. The Jets had a need in the secondary since Antonio Cromartie is in Arizona and Dawan Landry is not considered a long term solution at safety for the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us what you think about <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/115538-thoughts-on-calvin-pryor\/\">Calvin Pryor in the Jet Nation forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-24960\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Calvin Pryor\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/USATSI_6579552_158813650_lowres.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 18 overall pick, in the 2014 NFL draft, the New York Jets selected Calvin Pryor, a safety out of Louisville.
