"Terrelle Pryor's backers are making the case to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that the former Ohio State QB should be eligible for Wednesday's supplemental draft.

Pryor was not on a list of eligible players distributed by the league last week.

Pryor's lawyer, David Cornwell, issued the following statement Sunday, according to ESPN:

"We have been in discussions with the Commissioner's office over the past week to address the NFL's concerns. I am confident that once the NFL has a full understanding of the facts, Terrelle will be part of Wednesday's supplemental draft."

Pryor is seeking a personal meeting with Goodell, according to ESPN.

Pryor announced that he would not return for a senior year after he was suspended by the NCAA for the first five games of the season for accepting improper benefits, including a memorabilia-for-tattoos scandal that led to coach Jim Tressel's resignation."
