Brendan Sorsby to the NFL supplemental draft: What to know
How is Sorsby suddenly in the supplemental draft? How does it work, and which teams could be interested? And what is his value after his gambling violations in college?
www.espn.com
“The NFL hasn't had a supplemental draft since 2023, and no one has been selected in one since 2019, when the Cardinals picked safety Jalen Thompson with a fifth-round bid. The last quarterback to enter the supplemental draft was Terrelle Pryor, who was a third-round bid in 2011 for the Raiders. The league still needs to approve Sorsby's application for there to be a 2026 supplemental draft, which would take place sometime later this summer.”
He will get drafted, too much talent, but will he be able to keep from gambling? Lots of risk that hes Art Schlichter, so I'd guess a 4th round bid from someone will get him.
I agree...there won't be any discipline. I just don't think he's talented enough that anyone spends a pick on him with the baggage associated with him. Maybe Cleveland does. Or the Jets. But just feels unlikely
In the typical entry level draft I'd agree but not in the supplement. Maybe of a team has a handful of 6th and 7th rounders next year they'll burn one.
It took me years to appreciate the emotional ebb and flow of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
John Candy is maybe the funniest most talented human to ever live. Will die on that hill.
I think some team will invest a 3rd round supplemental pick and, if he is drafted, Goodell will suspend him for a year.
A third seems so high in the supplemental draft--it's rare for anyone to even be drafted. Anything is possible.
I think the only option would be to ban him from the league for gambling (detriment to the league) but I don't think that will happen
There is. The NFL commissioner is granted broad authority to act in the best interest of the league by the league constitution and by laws. Goodell can easily suspend him if he sees fit. Sorsby won’t be dealing with a home town Texas judge; he’ll be dealing with Roger Goodell, who has an NFL Constitution, league by laws, and a collective bargaining agreement backing up his position.
I don't think he would be banned by a league that is in with the gambling services he probably used, but the league may also want to make a show of punishment.
If an over/under on draft round were to be set, I'd put it at 4.5 and take the under.
What if there is no NFL supplemental draft this year? Does texas tech re-embrace scoresby?
Agree, but once he’s a member of the league, he’s subject to any administrative action the commissioner may want to take. Sorsby is not going to waltz into the NFL. He’s an admitted gambling addict who bet on his own team multiple times. This is a huge problem for the league, who must protect competitive integrity at all costs.

I’m actually really curious if Cincinnati knew a lot more about his gambling issues than they are admitting. Wonder if they are sweating.Ain’t over yet.

He may be better than all the other ones on their roster including a washed up Rodgers.
Yea, that’s great. I’m excited.
jeezus h, this guy bet on his own f’in team. Maybe he can take the Browns and throw 4 picks.
The Steelers would have to literally put him on house arrest with no WiFi for their own sanity.
Me either, but I’m not a GM who needs to do something to save his job. It would be a big ‘gamble’ that I ‘bet’ someone takes
I can’t imagine if I needed to save my job I would put my eggs in the basket of a compulsive gambler.
he's the most obvious hard pass since Johnny Manziel
Agree, but a friend of mine has a brother who works for the scouting department for the Colts. He said there’s always somebody that thinks they can coach somebody up, or in this kid’s case, keep him out of trouble to the point that his talent outweighs the other issues.
I get it. I’m just saying personally, I wouldn’t let a known compulsive gambler on my team. That’s bit an addiction you just knock off after a month in a treatment program. It’s too dangerous to me.
