outstanding quarterback and a great kid<\/a>. I think he\u2019s going to be a great pro with the proper support system to overcome some of the issues he\u2019s had.\u201d<\/p>\nThat last part is critical, as it relates to Sorsby\u2019s upcoming selection in the supplemental draft. He could be drafted by a chronically inept franchise that won\u2019t have a good support system. He could be drafted by an elite organization that will have an ideal plan in place.<\/p>\n
In that regard, Sorsby will be at the mercy of the Harry Potter-style sorting hat.<\/p>\n
The team that selects Sorsby needs to have the right plan for helping him avoid a relapse in his gambling addiction. And it\u2019ll take much more than simply ensuring the various betting apps aren\u2019t on his phone. <\/p>\n
The urge to gamble could linger. It could be a constant struggle for Sorsby. And the temptation could be at its greatest when he\u2019s not playing. His NFL team needs to have an effective strategy for ensuring that, in the quiet moments when he\u2019s left to his own devices, he won\u2019t try to find a way to circumvent the reality that he won\u2019t be able to use his own devices to place bets.<\/p>\n
NFL players are allowed to gamble on other sports, as long as they don\u2019t do so in the workplace. For Sorsby, he and his team will need to find a way to stay away from anything and everything related to gambling.<\/p>\n
Which won\u2019t be easy to do. Everywhere you look, there\u2019s a gambling ad or a show sponsored by a sportsbook or a talking head touting can\u2019t-lose bets.<\/p>\n
Sorsby deserves a full and fair chance to beat his addiction. He could help many others who have fallen victim to the relentless bet! bet! bet! barrage. Above all else, his team will need to be committed to helping him on his journey away from the thing that ended his college football career prematurely \u2014 so that it won\u2019t prematurely end his professional career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"College football\u2019s coach of the year has given his endorsement to the former college football player of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-713716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
