Brendan Sorsby's agent on whether NFL will reject application for supplemental draft: "I would hope not"
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Monday marked the deadline for NFL players to apply for the supplemental draft, with the league expected to soon announce the draft date and player pool.
- There is uncertainty over whether quarterback Brendan Sorsby's application will be accepted due to past betting violations during his college years, though his agent argues he never bet on games he played in and has since reformed.
- Key questions remain about whether Sorsby will be allowed into the supplemental draft and if he would face suspension after being drafted.
- Since Sorsby is not yet part of the NFL Players Association, any attempt to exclude him from the draft could lead to legal challenges, while suspensions would follow the Collective Bargaining Agreement once he is drafted.
- The league's decisions on the supplemental draft and Sorsby's eligibility will determine if he can enter the NFL now or must wait until April 2027.
