26 NFL Teams Are Scrambling For Brendan Sorsby, And It All Comes Down To One Uncomfortable Question

Alright, 12s, you gotta hear this. There’s a new name buzzing around the NFL water cooler, and it’s sending general managers into an absolute frenzy. We’re talking about quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who just applied for the NFL supplemental draft, and his agent, Ron Slavin, dropped a bomb on Wednesday: a mind-blowing **26 NFL teams** have reached out since Monday! That’s right, twenty-six teams are already putting in the work to evaluate this guy. It’s early June, and the league is already in full-blown QB evaluation mode for a player who isn't even in the main draft class. Wild!

The Phone Is Ringing Off The Hook For Sorsby

Slavin, who was talking on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, gave us the exact breakdown: "Twenty-two between General Managers and college scouting directors reached out yesterday and then four more already this morning." That’s some serious heat for a prospect! Coach Joey McGuire at Texas Tech is also reportedly buried under a ton of phone calls about Sorsby. Why the sudden rush? Well, Slavin laid it out there: you just don't find many guys "walking around 6'3", 235 [pounds] and can move like him and throw it like him." That’s the kind of physical profile that makes scouts drool, especially for a QB.

The Big Question NFL Teams Are REALLY Asking

But let’s be real, there’s always a catch, right? While teams are obviously intrigued by his on-field talent, they also have to figure out "What really happened here?" Slavin admitted that while the media might have opinions, NFL teams do their own rigorous due diligence. They hire companies that dig deep into a prospect's background, leaving no stone unturned. The agent said most questions are "What does he weigh in? What would he run?", focusing on the football-related measurables rather than the character stuff, because they’ll get to the bottom of the off-field issues on their own. The "uncomfortable question" we're talking about, the reason Sorsby prematurely left college football, is his gambling addiction. This is the biggest hurdle for any team considering him, and they'll need to reach a "right level of comfort" before taking a chance. So, what’s next for Brendan Sorsby? The supplemental draft process will be intense as teams weigh his impressive physical talents against the very real concerns about his past. If a team can get comfortable with that gambling addiction, they could land a physically gifted QB who has the whole league talking. For the teams that need a strong arm under center, this could be the biggest gamble of their season, and the stakes are incredibly high. Keep your eyes peeled for where this kid lands, because the NFL is definitely watching.
