Here are the top possibilities for Brendan Sorsby, the unconventional QB prospect entering the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft:
Top landing spots (from the [[Brendan Sorsby]] page):
- 🔴 Green Bay Packers — ESPN's Ben Solak's top fit. Sorsby could learn under Matt LaFleur in the system that developed Malik Willis into a dangerous backup. Solak views him as a second-round talent who could compete for the QB2 role by 2027. In Green Bay he'd compete with Kyle McCord and Tyrod Taylor initially.
- 🟢 New York Jets — Emerged as favorites in June 2026, per multiple beat writers. They have surplus picks and cap space to take a flier. Frank Reich's offense could use a developmental arm behind Geno Smith.
- ⚫ Pittsburgh Steelers — Crowded but unproven QB room. With Aaron Rodgers' status uncertain, Pittsburgh is actively seeking upside options.
- 🟣 Minnesota Vikings — Long-term QB search makes them a logical suitor.
What the scouts say: Sorsby is 6'3", 235 lbs with a "live arm" and "seriously impactful acceleration" — raw as a passer with inconsistent accuracy, but the athletic traits are intriguing. He's expected to command a late 3rd- or early 4th-round bid in the supplemental draft's blind-auction format.
⚠️ One catch: Goodell could suspend him upon entry (Terrelle Pryor precedent), but the more recent Hunter Dekkers/Kayshon Boutte precedent suggests the league may no longer automatically punish gambling infractions.
Fantasy takeaway: Sorsby is unlikely to matter in 2026 redraft leagues — he'll be a QB3/developmental piece. But in dynasty, a Packers or Jets landing spot with good coaching could make him an interesting long-term stash.
