After parting ways with the Red Raiders, Brendan Sorsby had only one option to continue his football journey: entering the NFL supplemental draft. The former Texas Tech QB dropped his lawsuit against the NCAA to make him eligible for the process. However, according to Adam Schefter, the NFL has declined to hold the Supplemental Draft, which leaves things really tricky for Sorsby to continue his football career. But the fight to get Sorsby playing is still on, after the latest statement from his attorney.

“The NFL’s decision ‘is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement, and we intend to pursue the player’s rights with the NFLPA,'” said Sorsby’s attorney Jeffrey Kessler to Yahoo Sports, as reported by Ross Dellenger on June 23.
Sorsby applied to the Supplemental Draft right before the deadline date, and there was instantly a lot of interest. However, after the league’s decision not to hold the supplemental draft, all 32 NFL teams, as well as Sorsby, were informed.
“The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry,” NFL attorney Lawrence P. Ferazani Jr. said in his letter. “Your Petition — filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions — does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.”
