Sorsby’s Eligibility Battle Could Pivot to the NFL Supplemental Draft

Brendan Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech after starring at Cincinnati, is fighting an NCAA eligibility ruling that could push him toward the 2026 NFL supplemental draft if denied. The process is lottery-based and tiered, with teams bidding for players and losing a 2027 college pick if they select someone in the supplemental rounds. NFL evaluators praised his athleticism and arm, signaling potential interest from several teams, but much hinges on the court ruling and how the NFL would handle any resulting eligibility issues. Sorsby plans a pro day in Dallas and private workouts if he enters the draft while the injunction decision looms.

Jets Weigh Supplemental-Draft Gamble on Brendan Sorsby as Potential Franchise QB

The Jets are considering a bid in the NFL supplemental draft for Brendan Sorsby, a Cincinnati starter who transferred to Texas Tech, hoping he could become a franchise quarterback. Sorsby is currently dealing with a gambling-related eligibility probe that could either delay his college career or bar him, potentially pushing his future to the July supplemental draft if the ban is enforced. A successful bid would cost the Jets a 2027 pick, complicating the decision given Geno Smith, Cade Klubnik, and a strong 2027 quarterback class. The ultimate move depends on the NCAA ruling and the Jets’ appetite for risk and long-term upside.

"2023 NFL Supplemental Draft: No Players Selected, Patriots Opt Out"

The New England Patriots, along with all other NFL teams, did not make any selections in this year's NFL Supplemental Draft. Wide receivers Malachi Wideman and Milton Wright are now free agents and can sign with any team. The supplemental draft was introduced in 1977 to give players unable to participate in the regular draft an opportunity to enter the pro level. The Patriots have never made a supplemental selection under head coach Bill Belichick. The team's roster remains at 88 active players as they prepare for training camp later this month.

"NFL's 2023 Supplemental Draft Ends Without Any Player Selections"

No players were selected in the NFL's supplemental draft, which featured two eligible players: Malachi Wideman and Milton Wright. This was the first supplemental draft in three years, and the last time a player was selected was in 2019. Any team that made a pick in this draft would have had to give up a corresponding pick in the 2024 draft. Wideman, a Tennessee transfer, had 12 touchdowns in 2021 but caught only three passes last season, while Wright missed the 2022 season due to academic ineligibility. Both players can now sign with any team as undrafted free agents.

"NFL Supplemental Draft: Potential Picks and Targets for 2023"

Former Purdue Boilermakers wide receiver Milton Wright is the only player currently eligible for the upcoming NFL supplemental draft. The New Orleans Saints could potentially use one of their fifth- or sixth-round picks to acquire him, but it would leave them with less draft capital until compensatory picks are awarded next March. Wright was declared academically ineligible in 2022 and didn't find many options in the transfer portal in 2023, leading him to turn pro. He had a breakout season in 2021 with 57 receptions for 732 receiving yards and 9 touchdown catches.

Purdue WR Milton Wright eligible for NFL Supplemental Draft.

The NFL supplemental draft is set to return on July 11th, with former Purdue wide receiver Milton Wright being the only prospect approved so far.

Teams bid via draft picks on a player, with the highest pick getting the player and the team making the bid forfeiting the pick. The 49ers have selected five players in the supplemental draft, including former linebacker Ahmad Brooks.
