Steelers Weighing Options for Controversial Quarterback in NFL Supplemental Draft
The 2026 World Cup match between Congo DR and Portugal ended in a surprising 1-1 draw, with Cristiano Ronaldo being effectively neutralized by the opposition. Ronaldo's limited impact on the game was highlighted by his low number of touches and missed shot attempts. Fox analyst Thierry Henry criticized Ronaldo for focusing too much on scoring goals for himself rather than creating opportunities for his teammates. Despite high expectations for Ronaldo's performance in response to Lionel Messi's hat trick in the previous game, Ronaldo failed to deliver. Portugal will have another chance to prove themselves in their upcoming match against Uzbekistan.
There have been speculations about the Pittsburgh Steelers potentially considering controversial quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the NFL supplemental draft. Sorsby, who has a history of gambling issues, has not been ruled out by the Steelers, as they are reportedly gathering information about him. While some may have concerns about Sorsby's past, it is likely that a team will take a chance on him in the supplemental draft. The Cleveland Browns have already indicated that they will not pursue Sorsby. Draft experts predict that Sorsby could be selected with a Day 3 pick, possibly as high as a fifth-round choice.
The Steelers currently have a quarterback room that includes Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar. Despite the potential addition of Sorsby, there is no indication that the team is ready to give up on Howard or Allar, who have yet to play in a regular-season NFL game. The supplemental draft is scheduled to take place before July 16, and the Steelers are still in the process of evaluating their options. Ultimately, the decision to draft Sorsby will depend on how much risk the team is willing to take on a player with a controversial past.
