Minnesota Vikings are among the teams speculated to be interested in Brendan Sorsby, who will enter the NFL supplemental draft. The Vikings currently have a QB battle between J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray, but neither has solidified themselves as the long-term starter. Brendan Sorsby could be a safety net for Minnesota, potentially giving the team a QB of the future. Former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber expressed concerns about Sorsby's move to Minnesota, citing his lack of big-time performances in prominent games. Leber noted that Sorsby has a poor record in November, going 1-11 in three seasons. Ben Leber questioned whether Sorsby has the intangibles to lead a team to wins in crucial games. Sorsby has played four seasons for the Cincinnati Bearcats and Indiana Hoosiers, throwing for 7,208 yards, 60 touchdowns, 18 interceptions, and a 140.6 QB rating. Leber is willing to give Sorsby the benefit of the doubt at the NFL level, but has concerns about his ability to perform under pressure. Sorsby's stats are impressive, but his performance in big games is a major worry for Leber. And Leber's concerns are not just about Sorsby's stats, but also about his leadership and ability to make calculated throws. But Sorsby's size, speed, and big arm are all positives. So the question remains, can Sorsby overcome his struggles in big games and become a successful QB in the NFL. Leber's comments were made on his YouTube channel on June 18. Sorsby's NFL supplemental draft is upcoming, and the Vikings will have to decide if he is the right fit for their team.
