A significant quarterback prospect is officially entering the NFL Supplemental Draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The report, shared on Tuesday, June 16, confirms that a high-profile signal-caller has been added to the pool of players available for the summer selection process. Rapoport characterized the player as a "significant" name at the position, which marks a rare addition to the supplemental draft cycle, as quarterbacks are seldom available during this period.
The NFL Supplemental Draft is designed for players who did not enter the primary NFL Draft in April due to various eligibility issues or changes in their collegiate status. During the process, teams submit "blind" bids specifying the round in which they would like to select a player. If a team's bid is the highest, they are awarded the player's rights and must forfeit the corresponding pick in the next year's standard NFL Draft.
The NFL is expected to finalize and distribute the list of all eligible supplemental draft picks to teams in the coming days. No specific date for the supplemental draft has been officially announced yet.
