0:57Now PlayingThe NFL denied a bid by quarterback Brendan Sorsby to hold a supplemental draft this year, meaning he won't have a chance to enter the league in the fall.
The news follows the 22-year-old's legal battle with the NCAA, which ruled him ineligible after he made thousands of bets during his college career.

The NFL instead encouraged Sorsby to try its regular draft next year. His lawyer called the decision unlawful.
