Spent my day working on future draft classes.

2027 will be the best draft I've ever covered.

2026 is better than this year, but falls below 2023 and 2024 classes.

A quick update: The surgery to remove my left arm was successful with hopes of an eventual prosthetic replacement. Similarly, the femur and patella surgeries were also successful and the fantastic surgery team was able to save my left leg. 

To best focus on my healing and recovery, I’m stepping away indefinitely and will be placed on leave from ESPN. Thank you to all for the prayers and thoughts; please keep them coming.

The best news is that the driver suffered zeroes.

Excited to see what the hardest year of life brings.

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

50 units of blood
Lise-saving briachial surgery
Compound femur surgery
Shattered patella surgery
Shoulder surgery to fuse scapula and clavicle together while harvesting nerves

Plus some broken ribs.

Great way to start 43

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

Today’s surgery is a big one. To find out if my shoulder can be reconstructed in order to suppprt a prosthetic arm. Your continued thoughts and prayers are so appreciated.

Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this. 

As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.

Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.

I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.

@TheArmchairFF Not me, sir. I only write for ESPN.

Next steps for Brendan Sorsby, per his agent Ron Slavin of Lift Management. Sorsby’s lawyers will withdraw the court filing in Texas today, which will make Sorsby ineligible again. Once that’s formalized, they’ll apply for the NFL Supplemental Draft, likely in next 24 hours.

Steve Keim's famous quote keeps coming to mind this morning.

"If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder."

Will a team surrender a valuable pick in the loaded 2027 draft class for a quarterback—a talented one—that’s admitted to gambling on his own team? And how will the NFL respond?

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. Amid the legal wrangling over his NCAA eligibility after admitting he bet on sports, he intends to head to the NFL.

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

Texas should immediately agree to play Texas Tech in Week 1 now

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

So…the NCAA is powerless to enforce its own rules.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

From the ruling, the NCAA is cannot prevent Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby from "practicing, playing or otherwise participating on Texas Tech's football team for the 2026 season."

[Mike Singer @MikeTSinger]

Elmhurst (Ill.) Immaculate Conception's Grant Bowen is the No. 1 "athlete" in the 2028 class, and he did not disappoint on Friday.

He worked out at tight end during Notre Dame's Irish Invasion camp and has drawn strong reviews.

The 2028 #NFLDraft is heading to Minnesota!

NEWS: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has filed for an injunction against the NCAA seeking his college eligibility. It cites a “wholesale abandonment of its obligations and duties to promote the well-being” of Sorsby. Details: https://t.co/Z3tqSHPz46

@BD97 That would be one hell of a bounce back. I like it.

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

You can't say Arch Manning or Jeremiah Smith.

Who's going to win the 2027 Heisman Trophy?
