Of course, there are teams that need him more than others, including the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers, searching for a franchise quarterback in the future, seem to be the most obvious among the relative contenders who could use his services. Whether that actually ends up with Sorsby on the roster remains to be seen, but there's a lot to like about the potential of him being on the roster, so long as the Steelers can look past some of the mistakes he's made over the past few years.
It remains uncertain what his price tag will definitely be until it happens, but one ESPN reporter recently had the latest on what teams can expect to pay for him in the supplemental draft.
He was recently viewed as a first-round talent when it was announced he was returning to Texas Tech, but with the news that he's planning to enter the supplemental draft, it sounds like a second-rounder is more his speed.
“Sorsby would enter the draft with sizable value to teams. Several execs I spoke with over the past few weeks agree that he's worth a second-round pick in the supplemental draft. One AFC executive predicted Sorsby would have been a late-first-rounder if he were available in April's traditional draft -- but the last supplemental draft to garner a first-rounder was 1992 (quarterback Dave Brown),” Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported.
One NFL executive said he would have been a first-round talent for sure, which could add intrigue to how things play out over the next few months.
"An excellent easy thrower with the ability to make every throw," an NFC exec said. "Big, good athlete, can go off schedule, can rush for touchdowns in short-yardage or goal-line situations. Lots of highlights. Would like more consistency, but a first-round talent for sure."
It's really tough to get a feel for the entire situation, as many of the problems were self-inflicted by Sorsby. It's unfortunate that the young man made the decisions he did, but he has to live with them. I hope he gets a second chance, as all youngsters deserve that second opportunity.
