32 NFL Teams Were Already Watching Brendan Sorsby, And Now The Real Questions Begin
Hold up, Emerald City faithful, because there's a wild card prospect trying to hit the NFL gridiron, and he's got everyone talking. Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby is looking to shake things up, applying for the NFL supplemental draft. If the league gives him the green light, we're about to see one of the most fascinating player evaluations in recent memory. This isn't just about his arm, folks, it's about EVERYTHING.
The QB Everyone's Talking About, But For More Than Just Touchdowns
Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield, who guided Sorsby for his final two college seasons, spilled some serious tea on Tuesday during the "Victory Bell" game announcement. According to Satterfield, the NFL has already been buzzing about Sorsby. We're talking scouts, general managers, the whole nine yards, reaching out and asking questions. But here's the kicker: the inquiries have been "more on a personal level" than just football. Apparently, they saw something like this coming. Now that the news is out about Sorsby heading for the supplemental draft, Satterfield expects a flood of even more inquiries in the coming weeks. Teams are going to be digging deep, trying to get every last piece of info before they decide to "take a chance" on him. We know there's a Pro Day workout set for July 10, so expect some serious hype around that, too.

So, what's really going on? Teams are going to have their work cut out for them, assessing both Sorsby's physical abilities and, crucially, his "addiction and associated anxiety" status. And here's the absolute biggest hurdle: interested teams need a rock-solid projection that Sorsby won't end up embroiled in a "gambling scandal" once he makes it to the NFL. That's a massive weight on anyone's shoulders. Despite all these red flags, Satterfield is still incredibly confident that Sorsby will find a new home fast. The coach said he expects "takers" because even before "all this stuff hit," a staggering 32 teams had already visited the Cincinnati campus, many of them inquiring about Sorsby. Satterfield even went as far as to say Sorsby "could’ve come out and potentially been a first-round draft pick." He reiterated that Sorsby is "very talented, has great size, and can run and throw." Satterfield believes that NFL history shows teams take chances on players who've made mistakes, and Sorsby will have "learned from this and grown."
The bottom line is the quarterback position. It's rare to find a long-term, year-to-year franchise QB. That immense potential reward is what makes multiple teams willing to stomach the serious risks involved here. For Sorsby, the best-case scenario isn't just getting drafted, but landing with a team that has a real plan to help him adjust to the sudden, dramatic shift of the NFL. It's a high-stakes game, and we're all watching to see who rolls the dice.
