Summary
Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, avoiding potential ineligibility for his senior year of college. However, this decision does not guarantee he will play in 2026, as the league has previously suspended players who left school to avoid NCAA punishment. Terrelle Pryor’s case sets a precedent, as he was suspended for five games as a rookie after entering the Supplemental Draft to avoid a five-game senior suspension. Sorsby’s infractions, including betting on college football games, may lead to a similar suspension.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Brendan Sorsby’s decision to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft is a calculated effort to avoid NCAA punishment. The NFL has previously shown leniency in some cases, but Sorsby’s situation mirrors that of Terrelle Pryor, who was suspended for five games as a rookie. The league’s handling of Pryor’s scandal sets a precedent for Sorsby’s potential suspension. Will Sorsby be forced to sit out his rookie year? The NFL has been stern in its stance on gambling, but has also shown leniency in the past.
The NFL’s punishment is a ritual, and Sorsby is just the latest participant.
