Brendan Sorsby of Texas Tech has entered the 2027 NFL supplemental draft, sparking interest from teams evaluating his high-ceiling potential. The supplemental draft allows all 32 teams to bid blindly for his rights, with the winning bid forfeiting a 2027 draft pick. Sorsby’s live arm, vertical passing ability, and 235-pound frame with elite scrambling speed (19.9 mph max) make him a unique prospect.
His 17% of 20+ air-yard throws ranked 16th nationally in 2025, showcasing his deep-ball accuracy. However, mechanical inconsistencies—flat-footed throws and sidearm tendencies—resulted in a 13.8% off-target rate (112th in FBS). Teams must weigh his upside against these flaws.
A team fit would require an OC willing to design RPO-heavy schemes to leverage his timing and arm angles. Sorsby’s athleticism also allows him to function as a dual-threat option, averaging 5.8 yards per rush in 2025.
