Browns Eyeing QB With Gambling Scandal Baggage
7 May
Summary
- Cleveland Browns are reportedly interested in Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby.
- Sorsby faces a potential ban due to a significant online betting scandal.
- Browns have had success with supplemental draft picks like Bernie Kosar.
The Cleveland Browns are reportedly investigating Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, a 22-year-old signal-caller linked to a potential NFL supplemental draft entry. Sorsby faces scrutiny due to a widespread betting scandal involving an estimated 10,000 online bets since starting college. This situation has led him to enter rehab and could jeopardize his final year of eligibility.
Should Sorsby lose his eligibility, many anticipate he will enter the NFL supplemental draft. This unique draft requires teams to forfeit a future draft pick for the rights to a player. Notably, the Browns have a history of success in this draft, having previously selected Bernie Kosar and Josh Gordon.
Sorsby, a 6'3", 235 lbs prospect, showcases impressive athleticism with a reported 4.65 40-yard dash time. His collegiate statistics include 7,208 passing yards and 60 touchdowns against 18 interceptions, complemented by 1,295 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns over 35 games. Despite his talent, his gambling issues present significant off-field concerns.
