How Brendan Sorsby's NFL Supplemental Draft Process Will Work and Potential Landing Spots
The former Indiana and Cincinnati quarterback reversed course after admitting to betting on college sports and became eligible for teams to bid a draft pick.
- Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby is applying for the NFL supplemental draft after parting ways with Texas Tech. The decision follows his departure from the college program amid a gambling investigation.
- Sorsby placed at least 40 bets involving Indiana University football, wagering approximately $90,000 over four years. He subsequently took a leave of absence from Texas Tech to address a gambling addiction.
- Teams may bid 2027 draft picks to select Sorsby, with the highest bidder securing his rights. This supplemental draft mechanism allows players who missed the regular spring draft to join the league.
- Interest in Sorsby exists among several organizations, including the Vikings, New York Jets, and Detroit Lions. ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum suggested Minnesota as a logical destination on Tuesday morning.
- The supplemental draft is a seldom-used process, with no player selected since Arizona Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson in 2019. If eligible players apply, the league typically holds the draft in July before training camp.
