Will QB Brendan Sorsby's NFL Future Be Decided by Four High-Stakes Questions Amid Gambling Scandal?

“I don’t know enough about addiction to understand how the brain gets addicted to gambling as opposed to substances, and how hard the treatment process is,” the official said. “That’s the first part to learn. Sadly, there is more risk to the club in a [gambling] relapse situation because any bet is public to the NFL, as opposed to substance abuse which they would have to test to find out. So from a ‘football’ standpoint, there is more risk here than with substance abuse.”

“The hard part [of this] is I’m sure there is going to be a learning curve [for the league] on gambling that’s similar to marijuana. Twenty years ago, players were off the [draft] board for marijuana. Now, nobody cares because of how prevalent it became during legalization. This kid might be the first one [of this scope] and wear a scarlet letter, but five years from now, all of the draft picks will have had gambling accounts and bet on sports at some point in their life. Maybe not to addiction levels, but that’s coming.”
