Burning Questions, Ejuan Price Version...

[mehinpgh]

1. Years of Eligibility???: Is he a redshirt Senior, or is he a Junior, has he applied for medical redshirt, what is the deal?
2. Name Pronunciation: I hear him referred to on the radio as "Juan Price" sometimes. Is it "EE--Juan" or is the 'e' silent?
3. Does he have a shot at playing in the NFL if he keeps up with these top notch performances or is he too undersized for his position in the NFL? If we make the conference championship and/or a bowl game, he could end up with over a dozen sacks!

He is a 5th year senior. He took a medical RS his freshman year because he was injured in the 3rd game. He also didnt play in his RS Jr season due to injury so he can apply for a 6th season. Usually, they give those out if you missed 2 full seasons. He missed 1.75 but I still think he gets it.

No idea about the NFL, he'd surely have to play LB. Maybe he will come back and play LB next season with Blair and that Ten transfer at DE.

I believe he pronounces it as Juan not E-Juan.

Yeah, I've heard that he prefers "Juan".

He was asked about the 6th year recently and said that it's something they will consider after the season is over. Be great to have him back.

He doesn't look that big -- I guess he'd have to be a 4-3 outside linebacker in the pros - like Harrison.

Go Pitt.

Let's try this again:

He missed 2012 and 2014 with pectoral tears. He missed half of 2013 with a back injury. So he's missed 2.5 seasons to injury. Played as true Fr under graham, half season as rs soph, and this yeAr. Slam dunk 6th year candidate should he seek it.

His name is pronounced "Ee-won" but he prefers "juan", just like my friend Albert prefers "Bert".

He's probably a 3-4 olb at the next level. But long odds await due to size and injury history.

He may be drafted late a a pass rushing specialist. That's a current-tend in the NFL. The 3rd down pass rush specialist. Only plays obvious passing downs/

I'm about 99.9% positive the E is not silent, he is just referred to as Juan for short.
