Very interesting ESPN article about this situation. Many of the assumptions made in this thread are wrong if the article is right.
Key points:
Up to 8 teams might be interested in drafting him, he was seen as possibly QB2 ahead of Simpson in the 2026 draft, a possible first rounder. Some of those teams could want him as a starter candidate, others with aging QBs might want to groom him as a future starter. I was surprised at how highly he was rated and how many teams might be interested. I doubt he'd make it past the 2nd round in the supplemental draft.
How about the gambling? Two examples were given of college guys dinged for gambling who got the opportunity to play in the NFL. This included QB Hunter Dekkers, who lost all eligibility for one $15 bet on his Iowa State team in a game he did not play in. He played a year at a JUCO (not sure if his choice or NFL requirement) and signed "with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad."
The other player had around 8,900 bets in college, including 17 on college games, and was not disciplined by the NFL So there apparently would be a path for Sorsby.
I know that's not what most want to hear on this thread ... read it for yourself at this link.
I was pretty surprised reading the article.
