(AP) - Terrelle Pryor says he won't appeal his five-week suspension at the start of the NFL season.

The former Ohio State quarterback worked out for 17 teams Saturday before Monday's supplemental draft.

Among those in attendance were Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and director of football operations Kevin Colbert and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.

Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel also made an appearance,supporting his former star player after resigning under pressure amid an NCAA investigation that Pryor and others improperly sold memorabilia.

Pryor left school for the NFL after Tressel's departure.

Pryor, appearing in top shape, worked out in shorts and no shirt at a high school stadium near his hometown of Jeannette, Pa.

He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds and threw an array of passes.
