Key details include Sorsby’s troubled eligibility status for violating NCAA gambling rules, his college résumé (5,613 passing yards, 45 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, plus 1,027 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns over 24 games), and the possibility he could have entered the NFL supplemental draft if left ineligible. The Browns’ interest appeared uncertain and not strongly established, with team executives expressing differing views: one executive kept the door open to evaluating prospects, while another expressed skepticism about adding Sorsby given his off-field situation. The ongoing quarterback competition within the Browns, featuring Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel, and rookie Taylen Green, further complicates any consideration of Sorsby.
Key takeaways:
– A Texas court’s injunction restores Sorsby’s eligibility but imposes a two-game suspension for Texas Tech.
– The Browns are no longer in the running to add Sorsby before training camp.
– Browns’ leadership has shown mixed feelings about evaluating Sorsby, in the context of a broader quarterback competition and off-field concerns.
