Sorsby would go on to admit that the findings were true, and it would <a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers-news\/steelers-could-select-brendan-sorsby-supplemental-draft-gambling-investigation\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers-news\/steelers-could-select-brendan-sorsby-supplemental-draft-gambling-investigation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">create a groundswell that resulted in him losing his eligibility<\/a>. Then a Texas court <a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/college-football\/texas-tech-sources-reveal-why-brendan-sorsby-granted-injunction-against-ncaa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">granted Sorsby an injunction last week that restored his eligibility<\/a>. Well, it turns out Sorsby doesn\u2019t want it anymore, and he\u2019s staking a claim at the NFL, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers-news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, among others, potentially interested in his services. <\/p>\n<p>Brendan Sorsby 2025 stats<\/p>\n<p>2,800 passing yards, 580 rushing yards.<\/p>\n<p>36 total touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>155.1 passer rating, 81.5 QBR.<\/p>\n<p>Brendan Sorsby to enter the supplemental draft<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision from Sorsby came as a surprise to many in the space, as just a week after a second chance at life in college football, the polarizing passer is headed to one of the lesser-used dates on the NFL calendar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams across the league will now debate on whether or not they want to use valuable draft capital on a talented, but recently troubled signal caller, and one of those teams could be the Pittsburgh Steelers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Would the Steelers consider drafting Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf Brendan Sorsby were in the 2026 draft, he would have been the 21st pick at worst. He was going to be a first-rounder, and the Steelers liked him a lot. Everyone in the portal wanted this guy, and the league loved him,\u201d a source told A to Z Sports.\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s a projected first-rounder coming in. Arizona would make a ton of sense, but other teams, including the Steelers, loved him pre-draft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Steelers quarterback room is already crowded, with either <a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers-news\/will-howard-takes-day-1-otas-reps-as-qb-2-mason-rudolph-qb-3\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mason Rudolph or Will Howard on the outside looking in<\/a> by the start of the season, barring a trip to IR.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if the Steelers are still interested in Sorsby after everything, and they have a true 1st round grade on him, I wouldn\u2019t be shocked to see Pittsburgh pull the trigger at some point and store Sorsby away for a year while he rehabilitates and learns under Aaron Rodgers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time will tell what decisions are made.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/USATSI_27934470-1-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Jan 4, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry (22) rushes the ball past Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J.
