Alex Boone and Terrelle Pryor were teammates at Ohio State during the 2008 season, but it sounds like they weren't exactly friends.

While appearing on KFAN 100.3 during Minnesota Vikings training camp on Friday, the former 49ers left guard was asked about his days playing for the Buckeyes and was asked to name some running backs that he blocked for. Then he was asked about the quarterbacks he blocked for.

"Let's see, we had Todd Boeckman. I had Troy Smith. I was his left tackle when he won the Heisman (2006). You're welcome. And then unfortunately, I had Terrelle Pryor, who I could not stand any minute with him," Boone said.

Why couldn't Boone stand Pryor?

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

When host Paul Allen informed Boone that Pryor was a wide receiver for Boone's hometown Cleveland Browns, the offensive lineman was stunned.

'He's still playing? He's still playing? Oh my god," Boone said.

On Monday, during Browns training camp, Pryor was asked about Boone's comments.

"I don't know where that came from," Pryor told reporters, according to ESPN.

"When you're young, and you guys know this, all of us, you're different. You act different. Your mind is wired completely different. I'm 18 years old meeting this guy," Pryor said.

"I wish him well. That's all I have to say," Pryor concluded.

But apparently, that wasn't all Pryor had to say. The former Raiders quarterback took to Twitter Monday afternoon to offer one last thought.
