Jets fans won't like what this NFL scout said about Brendan Sorsby

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is seeming more and more likely to be available in a supplemental draft this summer.

His gambling controversy has cost him his final season of college football, and he essentially has no choice but to enter the NFL to continue his football career.

Every quarterback-needy team is going to think about bidding on Sorsby. He was one of the top quarterbacks in college football last season and had some eye-popping stats.

The New York Jets will surely be asking themselves if Sorsby is worth spending a second or third-round pick on in the supplementary draft, and it seems like the young quarterback isn't worth it.

Anonymous NFL scout says Brendan Sorsby isn't worth it

ESPN's Rich Cimini revealed on his Jets Collective show that an NFL scout told him that Sorsby may not be as big a can't-miss prospect as he was initially made out to be.

"I talked to a scout about him just based on pure football ability, forgetting about the off-the-field stuff. The scout I talked to, who studied him very closely during last season, thought he was a third-day draft pick. Somewhere between the fourth and sixth round. He wasn’t overly impressed with him"

Rich Cimini

Setting the gambling baggage aside for a moment, Sorsby was a good college quarterback, particularly in 2025.

Last season, he tossed 27 touchdowns to only five interceptions, and threw for 2,800 yards, completing 61.6% of his passes. He also had 580 yards on the ground, scoring nine touchdowns.

One of Sorsby's biggest knocks is his size, which is exactly what the scout pointed out to Cimini.

"He’s listed at 6-foot-3, but the scout told me he’s probably closer to 6-foot or 6-foot-1. Good athlete, but kind of reckless when he runs with the ball a little bit. He put up some good passing numbers, but this scout said they have that guy on the roster - Cade Klubnik. That’s who he compared him to. Now, this scout is not affiliated with the Jets; I just want to make that perfectly clear. This was a guy who was independently scouting and saw this guy."

The Jets are better off letting Sorsby test the waters elsewhere. They can work with Cade Klubnik for 2026, and dip back into the quarterback well in 2027 when they have three first-round draft choices.

Putting all their eggs in the Sorsby basket seems like a bad idea right now.
