Terrelle Pryor was surprised to hear that Alex Boone hated him.

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor said he was surprised to hear that his former Ohio State teammate Alex Boone slammed him during a radio interview last week.

Boone, native of Lakewood, Ohio, and guard for the Vikings, was running through the list of quarterbacks he blocked for at Ohio State, including fellow Cleveland native Troy Smith.

"Unfortunately I had Terrelle Pryor, too," Boone said on KFAN in Minnesota. "I could not stand any minute with him.

"The kid was so arrogant at the time. I hated everything about him."

Pryor was blindsided by the remarks.

"I heard about that,'' Pryor said. "I don't know where that came from. I don't know.''

Did he know Boone felt that way?

"You know, when you're young, and you guys know this, all of us -- when you're young, you're different,'' Pryor said. "You act different. Your mind's wired completely different. I'm 18 years old meeting this guy. I wish him well and that's all I've got to say.''

Boone, of course, was a lot different too. He admits that his alcohol problem nearly cost him his career.

"I'm from Cleveland. I come from an Irish family,'' he said. "I was very immature. Looking back, I was very, very immature and I'm glad I woke up."

Boone also apparently didn't know that Pryor is a receiver for the Browns.

"He's still playing?" he asked.

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 ! — Terrelle Pryor SR (@TerrellePryor) August 8, 2016

The remarks came just before Pryor played at Ohio Stadium Saturday for the first time since his five-year ban for memorabilia was lifted in July.

He owned the day, catching six of the seven passes thrown his way, including touchdowns of 5 and 75 yards.
