NFL Teams Probe Brendan Sorsby Ahead of July 10 Pro Day as 32 Clubs Weigh Supplemental Draft Risk

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Jun 16

Summary

  • 32 NFL teams had already visited Cincinnati and asked about Brendan Sorsby before his latest news broke, coach Scott Satterfield said, adding he expects clubs to pursue him if he reaches the supplemental draft.
  • July 10 now looms as a key checkpoint, with teams set to use Cincinnati’s pro day to test Sorsby’s physical tools while digging deeper into personal questions beyond football.
  • Those questions center on his addiction, anxiety and whether he could face gambling-related trouble in the NFL, issues that could shape whether he is drafted and how early.
  • Satterfield argued Sorsby’s size, running and passing ability — and the league’s constant demand for quarterbacks — will keep teams interested despite the off-field risk.
