Brendan Sorsby Enters NFL Supplemental Draft as Steelers Weigh 6-foot-3 QB Amid 2027 Uncertainty

3 articles · Updated · Sports Illustrated · Jun 21

Summary

  • Brendan Sorsby is set to enter the NFL supplemental draft, putting the former Cincinnati and Texas Tech quarterback on Pittsburgh's radar as the Steelers sort through an unsettled post-Aaron Rodgers future.
  • Pittsburgh's interest stems from uncertainty behind Rodgers, who has called 2026 his farewell tour, with Will Howard and Drew Allar still unproven as long-term starters.
  • Sorsby brings starter-sized tools at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, but his gambling-related NCAA issues have made him a risky option despite reported interest from multiple teams.
  • Cleveland could emerge as a landing spot for Sorsby, according to the report, potentially taking the decision out of Pittsburgh's hands as AFC North teams keep searching for quarterback answers.
