Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel both fight for the same exact thing: being Cleveland Browns’ future.
Browns took both quarterbacks last month’s NFL draft. The more shocking selection of the two was perhaps the fact that Gabriel was taken in the third round when Sanders’ unprecedented slide continued.
With Sanders, once regarded as even a top-three overall choice that was still available in the fifth round, Cleveland knocked him.

It is a crowded quarterback room in Cleveland, which also includes Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. And one can imagine that with two rookies, both of which are something very touted, things can be awkward.
But that is not the case for Sanders and Gabriel.
“Everything has been cool,” Sanders told Sportscasting. “He’s a cool person. I like how he handles situations, especially just the negative media that comes his way. I’m just glad he’s positive. He’s able to deal with everything. We’re really cool.”
Sanders added that they are “definitely” learning from each other in practice.

Gabriel, Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough and Jalen Milroe were all taken in front of Sanders.
Ex-Oregon Quarterback said under Rookie MiniCamp that he “loves[s]“Having Sanders as a teammate.
“You know I love it because of who it is. I just think for both of us, you can learn from each other,” he said. “But it’s also not only the two of us in the room. At least for now [during rookie minicamp] It’s, but you know, going into the year, Kenny, Joe and even Deshaun, just a bunch of guys who played a bunch of ball that we can all learn from each other. “
He also rejected a question that he got the first snaps from the camp (something head coach Kevin Stefanski said not “investigating”).

“I think the more questions I am asked like that, it just shares the team,” he said. For me we are in a room full of not only us – Kenny, Joe and Deshaun. For us, we know how important a healthy QB room is. But also, a team that you want to be a part of. How do you create an environment every single day where everyone can be their best? It’s just pushing to each other which talent naturally does. Of course, it’s healthy. For us, we all do our stuff and everyone wins. “
