Attorney Jeffrey Kessler, representing Brendan Sorsby, has released a statement regarding an inquiry made to the NFL concerning the process for entering the Supplemental Draft, according to @TomPelissero. The inquiry was reportedly made in late April as Sorsby and his legal team sought to clarify the administrative steps necessary for eligibility.
The statement from Kessler's office indicates that the league's response specified a short application was the primary requirement for entry. The NFL Supplemental Draft is an event designed for players who did not enter the regular draft but have since experienced a change in their collegiate eligibility status. If a player is selected in this draft, their team must forfeit a corresponding pick in the following year's standard NFL Draft.
This formal inquiry by Sorsby signals a potential move to the professional level. Further details regarding the status of the application or the NFL's final determination on his eligibility have not yet been disclosed by the league or Kessler's office.
