Former Cincinnati and Indiana quarterback Brendan Sorsby's hopes of entering the NFL in the 2026-27 season have been dealt a major blow. The NFL has declined to hold a supplemental draft, through which Sorsby had sought entry into the league amid his charges of gambling against the QB.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the NFL has confirmed its decision not to hold a supplemental draft this year and a letter to that effect has been sent to Brendan Sorsby and all 32 NFL teams.
However, as the news broke on X, social media was quick to note the funny side to it and started taking a dig at Brendan Sorsby's gambling history. Sorsby has admitted to wagering over $90,000 in NCAA college football games, including some of his own while he was at Cincinnati and Indiana.
Brendan Sorsby is expected to challenge the NFL's decision, with his lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, stating that it violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the law.
