Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams has called on the team to steer clear of quarterback Brendan Sorsby amid speculation about a supplemental draft selection. Williams cited concerns over potential distractions during a period of transition for the franchise.
Williams made the comments recently on Steelers Nation Radio. He said the team should stay as far away from Sorsby as possible to avoid a media circus.
The Steelers quarterback room is already crowded after Aaron Rodgers rejoined the team. The franchise is unlikely to keep four signal callers on the 53-man roster.
Sorsby faces scrutiny over a past gambling scandal that involved betting on his own team. Williams noted the Steelers have a new head coach in Mike McCarthy and other priorities this offseason.
McCarthy previously coached quarterbacks including Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Williams argued the team should focus on football without added drama.
