Key takeaway The NFL hasn't held a supplemental draft since 2023 and had no plans to do so this year before Sorsby's petition.
Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The NFL's decision to deny Brendan Sorsby's petition for a supplemental draft this year will have local fans waiting with bated breath until 2027 to see if the young quarterback can overcome his past mistakes and make a successful entry into the league. As a potential Day 2 pick, Sorsby's talent is undeniable, but his history of gambling on sporting events, including during his college career, raises significant concerns about his integrity and ability to adhere to the league's rules. For San Antonio area residents who follow the NFL, Sorsby's story will be one to watch in the coming year, as he works to demonstrate his accountability and prepare for the regular draft. The fact that the NFL hasn't held a supplemental draft since 2023 and that no player has been selected in one since 2019, suggests that Sorsby faces an uphill battle to convince teams that he's overcome his gambling problems and is ready for the league.
