Steelers Named As Potential Landing Spot For Brendan Sorsby originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could be a team to watch to select Brendan Sorsby ahead of a potential NFL supplemental draft.
Sorsby applied for the NFL supplemental draft after his gambling controversy ended his college career. If the NFL approves the supplemental draft, several teams could be interested in the former Cincinnati Bearcats and Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback.
Sorsby was projected to be a first-round pick had he played well at Texas Tech, yet the supplemental draft is different, but he’s expected to be picked somewhere in either the second to fourth rounds.
Ahead of the supplemental draft, NFL analyst Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic named the Steelers as a potential landing spot for Sorsby.
“It might. Pittsburgh’s 2027 draft capital situation is similar to that of Arizona; the Steelers currently have a pick (including multiple seventh-rounders) in every round but the sixth. Unless Rodgers changes his mind (which, it’s Aaron Rodgers … ), Pittsburgh likely will need a new starter for 2027. Mike McCarthy has already admitted that Allar, while talented, is basically a teardown rebuild after playing in a Penn State offense that rarely made sense for him,” Baumgardner wrote in an article published on Tuesday.
“Sorsby would hardly be entering this situation without warts. From a football standpoint, however, it’s possible that after a hypothetical year of working behind Rodgers, he’d be more ready than Allar or Howard for the job in 2027. This also shouldn’t be your normal forward-thinking QB-needy situation, as Pittsburgh believes it still has a playoff roster right now.”
Aaron Rodgers is set to start at quarterback for the Steelers, but he’s set to retire after this season. So, if Pittsburgh doesn’t think Drew Allar or Will Howard are long-term options, they could take a flier on Sorsby.
