Brendan Sorsby's Agent Called Him a 'First Overall Pick' Human and Dropped a Brett Favre Comp. Seattle, Are We Listening?

Hold up, Seattle. Seriously. You know we're always scouting talent for our beloved Hawks, and let me tell you, a name just dropped into the NFL supplemental draft pool that's got his agent making some absolutely BONKERS claims. We’re talking about quarterback Brendan Sorsby, and his agent, Ron Slavin, isn't just whispering praise. He's yelling it from the rooftops, putting out a vibe that should have every team in the league, including our own Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury, doing a double-take. Sorsby's applying for the supplemental draft, and Slavin just compared his client's personality and moxie to FREAKING BRETT FAVRE. Yeah, you read that right.

The Clock Is Ticking, But They're Making It Happen

Look, the supplemental draft process is a whirlwind, a super "short window" as Slavin put it on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. But apparently, they're not sweating it. Slavin's already got the playbook. He said the best part about Sorsby being from Dallas is that it’s super easy to get to, with all the facilities they need for workouts. They’ll slap together a Pro Day right there, letting teams come in for meetings. Plus, Slavin plans to get Dr. Daniel Cooper to do Sorsby’s physical, then just blast all that sweet, sweet info out to all 32 NFL teams. He’s confident they'll make it happen efficiently, despite the tight turnaround. This kid's team is hustling, and that's the kind of dedication you love to see in a prospect.

"First Overall Pick" Human with a Favre-esque Arm?

Now, this is where it gets WILD. Slavin went all in, saying, "If you go [by] a human being, he’s the first overall pick." Talk about a ringing endorsement, right? He insists Sorsby is a "great kid," with "nothing that you’re ever going to have to worry about him off the field." Apparently, "the apps on his phones and all that’s been taken care of," and Slavin doesn't foresee any issues because of Sorsby's personality. Okay, great character is crucial, we know that. But then Slavin dropped the physical stats, and Seattle, this is where your ears should perk up: Sorsby is 6'3", 235 pounds. Slavin "believe[s]" he's gonna run a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. Get this, his "arm talent is ridiculous." He can throw from "all the different arm angles," and if you watch his games, like against TCU, he's "running away from DBs who ran in the 4.5s." The agent called him an "elite athlete" and a "late bloomer" who grew 12 inches after being 5'3" as a high school sophomore. Slavin even watched Brett Favre for years, growing up in Wisconsin, and sees Favre's "personality and his moxie" in Sorsby, along with the "arm angles and some of the things he can do arm-talent wise." That’s a massive comparison, folks, and it tells you everything about the kind of talent they believe is on the table.

So, what does this mean for our Hawks? With Sam Darnold leading the charge, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp ready to catch anything, our offense is solid. But competition is always good. This is a potential future piece, a high-ceiling player whose agent is absolutely gushing about him. It's a long shot for the supplemental draft, but if Sorsby gets in, every team will be doing their homework. The NFL landscape is always shifting, and you gotta stay ready. Keep your eyes peeled, 12s, because if this kid is even half of what his agent is claiming, he's going to make some noise. Who knows, maybe he's a name we need to remember for the future of the Emerald City.
