The Arizona Cardinals are expected to be in attendance for quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s pro day next month, according to Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro.
Gambadoro adds the team has already done its homework on the controversial quarterback.
“It will be like almost any other pro day. I expect the Cardinals to be represented,” Gambadoro said. “What I can tell you is the Cardinals have done a lot of extensive research on Sorsby already, because there was a chance he could have been in this year’s (NFL Draft).
“I would expect that they will have interest. Where in the draft, I can’t tell you. But because they don’t know if they have an answer at quarterback, they will continue to look at the quarterback position. Having Carson Beck in the third round does not rule out the Arizona Cardinals from taking a chance on Sorsby in the supplemental draft.”
Sorsby’s pro day has been tentatively scheduled for July 10 at Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The news of the Cardinals’ expected attendance comes after Sorsby decided to end his legal back-and-forth with the NCAA over his eligibility for gambling while in college and apply for the NFL’s supplement draft.
Arizona is one of a handful of quarterback-needy teams that were quickly linked as a landing spot for Sorsby if his supplemental draft application is approved. It’s unclear how the league views the quarterback.
The quarterback was set to play for Texas Tech this upcoming season before it was discovered he had made thousands of bets totaling $90,000 while in college. Wagers included betting on his own team while at Indiana, though he never played in any of the games in which he had placed a bet.
ESPN’s Matt Miller had Sorsby ranked behind only Texas’ Arch Manning and Oregon’s Dante Moore among 2027 quarterback prospects before his gambling addiction came to light.

Good points. More importantly, why in the world would the Cardinals take a moron who was gambling on his own team as early as his freshman year in college? He clearly has no interest in following rules, and the NFL is all about following rules, to the point where there isn't any other entity running a close 2nd. I say avoid Sorsby like the plague or a rattler whose rattle can be heard for 30 yards.
OK fine, go watch him work out but please do not seriously consider him in the supplemental draft.
I've looked into the Cards supplemental draft pick since being in AZ, and while it's a small group, it's a pretty good group considering what they developed into:
Timm Rosenbach: 1989, started out good but injuries derailed him.
Rob Moore: 1990, solid WR with the Cards.
Jaylen Thompson: 2019, another solid supplemental pick, played well enough to hook up with the Cowboys.
Could that pattern follow with Sorsby? I seriously doubt it. Those other three were supplemental for entirely different and largely innocent reasons. Sorsby? Not so much innocent.
WR Rob Moore was selected by the NY Jets in the Supplemental Draft. 4 or 5 years later they traded him to the Arizona Cardinals for RB Ronald Moore and a 1st and 4th round pick. He was not a supplemental draft pick by Arizona. Those other 2 picks by Arizona were really good players. I was a huge fan of Timm Rosebaugh and it was too bad that he tore his ACL on the very last practice before the start of the season.
