- Cleveland Browns Reportedly Blown Away By This QB During Practice
Suddenly, the Cleveland Browns ' quarterback room is crowded, with four players competing for one starting role. Between Joe Flacco , Kenny Pickett , rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders , one will emerge as the starter, another will be the primary backup, and another will act as the third-string quarterback.
Those determinations will be made throughout Browns training camp and upcoming preseason matchups. Yet, one of the newcomers is reportedly already making a strong impression, leading to more snaps than anyone anticipated.

According to NFL Network expert Judy Battista , the Browns have already given Gabriel, their third-round rookie, an increase in snaps after being blown away by his processing speed early on. That's a particularly notable trait that could continue to endear Gabriel to the Browns' coaching staff, especially because Battista notes how processing speed and decision-making will be major keys behind the decision to name a starter.
While other reports have praised Sanders, the team's fifth-round rookie, for his work ethic, it's becoming clear that the Browns' quarterback competition could get very interesting this fall. Though the rookies are off to a strong start, the veterans presumably still have the advantage, being that they've already seen NFL defenses and have grown accustom to the speed with which they move.
