- Steelers have real shot at rare QB opportunity after major NCAA decision
With an already loaded four-man quarterback room , the Pittsburgh Steelers are closer than some realize to having a shot at adding another talented prospect to their roster.
The college football world received a major shakeup this week, as Texas Tech standout quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been denied reinstatement after violating NCAA gambling rules.
With a final decision expected via a June 1 court date, Sorsby's pathways into the NFL may very well hinge on a 2026 Supplemental Draft.

For those curious as to what an NFL Supplemental Draft entails, it allows teams to bid future draft picks on eligible prospects who were not part of the standard draft held in April, which may fit the bill in Sorsby's case.
The Steelers , who would fall into the final lottery tier based on their 2025 playoff standing, would likely need to be aggressive if they wanted to land Sorsby, potentially giving up a 2027 third- or fourth-round pick to outbid any other suitors.
