Overview

  • Dillon Gabriel has drawn more first-team reps early in training camp and benefits from his third-round draft pedigree.
  • Shedeur Sanders has won praise from coaches for his work ethic, mental preparation and resilience during drills and meetings.
  • Coach Kevin Stefanski insists no starter is set and says camp and preseason performance will determine the depth chart.
  • Analysts remain split over Gabriel’s 5-foot-11 stature versus Sanders’s post-snap playmaking upside and college production.
  • The Browns are carrying multiple quarterbacks on the roster to hedge against Deshaun Watson’s recovery timeline and preserve future draft flexibility.
