Cleveland Browns began rookie mini stamp on Friday, and Rookie -quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders took the field for the first time.
Gabriel was selected in the third round, while Sanders was selected in the fifth round after an unprecedented slide. Gabriel received the first snaps of the day, but head coach Kevin Stefanski warned to read too much into it.
“Yes, I didn’t want to investigate anything,” said Stefanski via a transcription from Browns.

“I think you’ll see all weekend, go through spring. I mean we’re not too close aware of who’s in the first snap.”
Stefanski said he thought “both guys did a good job,” but did not commit to who would get the first snaps in Saturday’s practice.
Brown’s head coach did not emphasize to see “too much into” that receives the first snaps and that the team has a plan.

“There’s a lot of time between now and September, so we have a plan. But it’s an all -encompassing evaluation. It’s not something it’s just based on the practice representatives. There’s a lot going into it,” Stefanski said.
Browns have five quarterbacks on their list without any ready week 1 starter. Deshaun Watson jumped his Achilles again in January, after he underwent an operation on the same late in October 2024, and his status of the upcoming season is in doubt.

Browns acquired Kenny Pickett in a trade with Philadelphia Eagles and signed Joe Flacco for one year’s contract before the NFL draft. With the additions of Gabriel and Sanders to an already packed quarterback room, it’s left to see who gets the week 1 nod.
