Pryor defends 'flinch and run' approach after ducking Swearinger's pretend punch
Warning: Video contains coarse language
Terrelle Pryor was the target of much derision this week after he was caught on film flinching badly when Washington Redskins defensive back D.J. Swearinger pretended to swing at him during a joint practice Tuesday.

It appears Pryor also sees the humor in the situation as he added the hashtag "FlinchNRunGang" to his post.
