ESPN's Ben Solak Backs 22-Year-Old Brendan Sorsby for Packers QB2 Pipeline

Brendan Sorsby, a 22-year-old supplemental draft quarterback, was identified by ESPN analyst Ben Solak as a strong Green Bay fit and a likely challenger for the Packers' QB3 job.
Green Bay's backup picture changed after Malik Willis left for a three-year, $67.5 million Dolphins deal, pushing the Packers to sign 37-year-old Tyrod Taylor after the 2026 draft.
Solak argued Sorsby's dual-threat profile matches Matt LaFleur's preference for athletic backups and could put him first in line for QB2 once Taylor's one-year deal ends in 2027.
Draft cost could decide the move: Sorsby carries anything from a first-round ceiling to a fourth-round grade after college gambling-related legal trouble, while Green Bay is short on capital after the Micah Parsons trade.
Two fourth-round picks, including an extra one from the Rashan Gary trade, could still give the Packers a low-cost path to add a developmental quarterback behind Jordan Love.
