While the NFL offseason has entered a quieter phase following mandatory minicamps, one storyline continues to generate buzz across the league: the future of quarterback prospect Brendan Sorsby and where he could land in the draft. Could the Detroit Lions emerge as a surprising destination?
At first glance, Detroit doesn’t appear to be in the market for a quarterback. Franchise signal-caller Jared Goff remains firmly entrenched as the starter and is under contract through the 2028 season. However, the Lions’ long-term quarterback depth chart raises some intriguing questions.
Veteran Teddy Bridgewater, currently Goff’s primary backup, is 33 years old, while undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer is the only other quarterback on the roster. That reality could make adding a developmental quarterback prospect a priority for the Lions in the near future.
With Detroit potentially looking to strengthen its quarterback pipeline behind Goff, speculation has grown regarding a possible connection to Brendan Sorsby. Recently, Lions head coach Dan Campbell addressed those rumors, shedding light on whether the talented quarterback prospect could fit into Detroit’s future plans.
