The Cleveland Browns took a chance on not one, but two quarterbacks within the first five rounds during the 2025 NFL Draft. Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders were added to a quarterback room with Deshaun Watson (injured), Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett. To say that the room is crowded, in an understatement.
Now, just before training camp starts, Cleveland seems to have handed Sanders some rough news.
“This Was Coming” Browns Hand Shedeur Sanders Devastating News Just Before Training Camp (Report)
Shedeur Sanders, who had a strong start at Browns rookie minicamp, reportedly finds himself on the outside looking in as the pre-season approaches:
Following a pair of late night speeding violations, Sanders is rumored to be fourth on Cleveland’s depth chart behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow 2025 rookie Dillon Gabriel.
And according to longtime Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot, Gabriel may be able to keep Sanders down due to one “superpower” the former Oregon star possesses:
“So, what must Gabriel do to leapfrog the two veteran signal-callers and start on opening day? His superpower in the competition is his computer-like processing speed and decision-making, and it’s where he can get a leg up in the competition. During spring practices, including rookie minicamp, organized team activities and mandatory minicamp, Gabriel looked solid and held his own, but he can really make his move in camp during joint practices against the Panthers and Eagles, and the preseason games.”
Fans reacted to Shedeur being buried on the depth chart over the weekend.
“Sounds like a 5th round pick,” a user said.
“What happened to all the early reports that he was lighting it up? 😂” another person laughed.
“Let him go ball somewhere where he’s appreciated,” a fan replied.
“Gabriel was always better,” another claimed. “Started in a better system for a better program in a more respected school.”
“Welcome to Canada.”
“he may be RB1 with how things are looking for the Cleveland Browns 👮♂️” another user joked.
It’s been an eventful offseason to say the least for fans of the Dawg Pound.
After watching their team draft two QBs back in April to bring their roster total to five, there’s been no shortage of headlines — most recently involving rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins who allegedly committed domestic violence and was arrested in Florida.
