Sorsby settles with league to enter 2027 NFL Draft, but the QB class is loaded

It all began when he bet on games during his college career, a decision that cost him his NCAA eligibility, a shot at the NFL's supplemental draft and then an opportunity to enter the CFL.

After much legal wrangling, Sorsby, the NFLPA, and the league have all signed off, confirming there will be no supplemental draft this year, leaving Sorsby to focus on the 2027 NFL Draft.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport broke the news.

Sorsby's statement on the agreement

The player put out his own words on the matter on Tuesday, first accepting responsibility for his actions that led to this point, and then confirming that he's setting his sights on next year's draft.

What the agreement means for Sorsby

Sorsby is now left with no option but to sit out the 2026 season.

Come the 2027 pre-draft circuit, he will take part in every stage as normal. Teams can bring him in for visits, he can throw at a pro day, and he can even take part in the Senior Bowl.

Rapoport reported the NFL is keeping its options open in case anything else surfaces regarding his case, and can weigh this history against him if he's ever disciplined for a future violation.

Where Sorsby fits in a loaded 2027 Draft QB class

While his off-field situation has been a mess, Sorsby's talent is beyond question. In 2025, he threw for 2,800 yards, 27 touchdowns and only five interceptions, showcasing real arm talent and timing.

However, he'll enter a 2027 draft class with as much quarterback talent as we've seen in years.

Arch Manning, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, Darian Mensah, C.J. Carr and Drew Mestemaker headline a group that could challenge the record of six quarterbacks who went on Day 1 in 1983 and 2004.

Where Sorsby lands among that group after a year away from football is anyone's guess right now.
