A Supplemental Draft Gamble: What to Know About Brendan Sorsby’s Bid to Go From NCAA Ban to the NFL
The move follows an injunction against the NCAA after a gambling investigation found he placed thousands of bets as a college athlete.
- On Monday, 22-year-old quarterback Brendan Sorsby announced he is applying for the NFL Supplemental Draft, forgoing his legal battles with the NCAA following a gambling investigation.
- An investigation found Sorsby placed approximately 9,000 wagers during his four years at Indiana and Cincinnati, including at least 2,900 on football games while playing at Indiana.
- The NFL Supplemental Draft functions as a silent auction where teams submit bids for specific rounds; successful selections require forfeiting the corresponding pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
- Priority in the selection process goes to teams with six or fewer wins from the previous season, though the NFL has not yet approved Sorsby's application.
- No players have been selected in a supplemental draft since 2019, though historical picks like Bernie Kosar demonstrated the format's potential for launching successful NFL careers.
