Brendan Sorsby Has a July Pro Day Locked, And NFL Coaches Are Already Saying 'Thanks, But No Thanks'
Alright, 12s, gather 'round! It's April, the regular season vibes are just starting to hum, and we're always on the hunt for any whispers that could shake up the league. Well, a pretty wild situation just dropped onto our radar that’s got future NFL talent evaluators scratching their heads. Brendan Sorsby, a name you might be hearing more of, is making a hard push for the NFL supplemental draft, and he’s tentatively got a Pro Day penciled in for July 10. The league is getting a chance to size him up, but already, some big-name coaches are sounding less than thrilled about the whole thing.
The Supplemental Draft Push: What's the Story Here?
So, what's the deal with Sorsby and this supplemental draft buzz? The word first hit on Tuesday night: Sorsby intends to declare. Now, for him to actually become eligible, there’s a key step. His legal team has to pull a court filing they have against the NCAA, which will make him ineligible for college play. Pete Thamel over at ESPN reported that Sorsby's application to the supplemental draft is looking like it will officially go through within the next 24 hours. Once that’s done, it’s all eyes on July 10, when Sorsby is planning to show off his skills at Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas. It's a big move, a big gamble, and it means he’s betting big on his NFL future right now.

Here's where it gets really interesting, and maybe a little concerning for Sorsby. Even before he’s officially declared, the league’s reaction has been pretty lukewarm, to put it mildly. We’re talking about actual NFL head coaches here, not just anonymous scouts! Browns head coach Todd Monken didn’t mince words. He straight up said he wouldn't be down with adding Sorsby to Cleveland's quarterback room, calling the whole situation a "slippery slope." Ouch! Then there’s Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. When reporters asked him about Sorsby on Tuesday, he just brushed it off, saying he’s "focused on the guys that we have here now." Look, that’s coach-speak for "not interested, don't ask me again!" It’s a pretty early read, but those are two pretty big statements coming out of the gate. The big question looming is just how much interest there truly will be from the 32 teams if he gets the green light for the supplemental draft.
So, what are we watching for here? Sorsby's Pro Day is set for July 10, a date that could define his immediate future. With Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury at the helm for our Hawks, we know they're always keeping an eye on talent, especially at the QB spot, even with Sam Darnold holding things down. Will Sorsby impress enough to overcome the early skepticism from some of the league's top coaches? Or will this "slippery slope" comment turn into a full-blown red flag for teams around the NFL? It's a high-stakes play, and we'll be watching closely to see if any team, maybe even our own, sees a diamond in the rough where others see only question marks.
