NFL Faces June 22 Supplemental Draft Deadline as Brendan Sorsby Awaits Eligibility Decision

Summary
June 22 is the NFL’s deadline for supplemental draft applications, with the league still silent on whether it will hold the draft or include quarterback Brendan Sorsby.
Sorsby appears to qualify because he missed the April draft after not seeking early entry and has since lost his remaining NCAA eligibility.
The NFL could still argue he was already eligible in April or remained eligible for the 2026 college season under a June 8 court order, though the report says either route is unlikely.
Any league move may come after he is drafted, when the commissioner would control a potential integrity-of-the-game suspension and the NFLPA grievance process.
That approach would also avoid a pre-draft court fight, while past cases involving Kayshon Boutte and Hunter Dekkers suggest the NFL has precedent for taking no action.
