Tennessee Basketball Trending for Juke Harris After Insider Update
Brendan Sorsby, a quarterback from Texas Tech, may enter the NFL Supplemental Draft due to potential NCAA eligibility issues stemming from reported betting. Teams in need of quarterbacks could consider him as a viable option.
Mentioned in this story
Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby faces the possibility of being stripped of his eligibility by the NCAA for reportedly betting on football games in 2022 while he was with the Indiana Hoosiers. If that happens, the NFLās Supplemental Draft could be relevant once more.
While the supplemental draft once delivered starting-caliber players like Josh Gordon (2012) and Ahmad Brooks (2006), a player hasnāt been picked since 2019. Given the number of quarterback-needy teams around the league, Sorsby could change that if he decides to go pro.
Letās dive into a few potential landing spots for Sorsby in the NFLās Supplemental Draft.

This one might come as a surprise. However, the Green Bay Packers would seemingly love to have a developmental quarterback behind Jordan Love who they could potentially help like they did Malik Willis. There would be no pressure for Sorsby to play in , as he could sit behind both Love and . The Packers are projected to have compensatory picks in Rounds 3 and 4 in the 2027 NFL Draft, which could give general manager Brian Gutekunst the option of sacrificing a third-round pick forfeiture to take Sorsby in the Supplemental Draft. They would have four years of contractual control and could develop him for a year before making him Loveās backup in 2027. After that, heād still only be 24 years old and the Packers could potentially flip him for premium draft capital in the 2028 NFL Draft.

Weāre first prioritizing landing spots where Sorsby would face no pressure to see the field anytime soon. The Dallas Cowboys have already demonstrated they are willing to take gambles on young quarterbacks with enticing physical tools (Trey Lance and Joe Milton); Sorsby is a more enticing prospect than either of them when they were acquired. This would also be a return home for the 23-year-old quarterback, who starred at Lake Dallas High School in Denton, Texas. Sorsby would have the opportunity to learn from Dak Prescott for two-plus years before potentially taking over as the Cowboys starting quarterback in 2028. It might cost Jerry Jones sacrificing a Day 2 pick, but heās made more aggressive moves with draft capital before for worse players.

While Brendan Sorsby has played in 34 career collegiate games, he really wasnāt viewed as a prominent quarterback prospect for the NFL until this past year. Now that heās dealing with the gambling scandal, thereās too much risk to thrust him into a starting role so quickly. However, the worst NFL teams are willing to take more chances. Fortunately, the Miami Dolphins already have a starting quarterback they are financially committed to for 2026. Malik Willisā contract should ensure that he remains the Dolphinsā starter, allowing the coaching staff to use this season as a development year for Sorsby. If he makes a strong impression and demonstrates that he is ready to be elevated into being the starter, Miami could potentially have a top-three pick to use on wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

If Brendan Sorsby is going to cost a second-round pick in the NFLās supplemental draft, then the New York Jets stand out as a potential option. They already have three first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, so that Round 2 selection already stands out as a potential trade chip. Many will presume that Sorsby could challenge to be the Jetsā starting quarterback pretty quickly, but the coaching staff is very committed to Geno Smith. A better plan would be to give Smith the first three months of the season before Sorsby gets a trial run as the starter in December. If he performs really well, New York can use its trio of firsts on building a core around him. If he struggles, just take Arch Manning or Dante Moore.
