He's shown some flashes of inside pass rushing. He will play a lot on passing downs this season.
Pryor was very impressive last year when the Patriots went to sub packages and 4-3 fronts. The problem with him seeing an increased role, such as RDE in the base 3-4, is that he is 6'1 310 lbs, and lacks the length to play DE and the girth to play NT.
I would guess that when the Pats drafted him, he is someone they graded out at a 3rd round level as an overall player but as someone who didn't really fit the system, but took him in round 6 because at that point he was too good to pass up. He could be a great NT or 3-technique in a one-gap 4-3 because of his quickness and active hands.
For us, I see him him filling the Jarvis Green role as a sub package interior pass rusher. Against pass-heavy spread teams like Indy, against whom the Pats typically employ some version of a 4-2-5, he will probably play a majority of the snaps at DT.
