Not a lot of tangible hope and not a lot of excitement. Quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel are both heading into year two, while Deshaun Watson is trying to salvage what once was a promising career. At the NFL owners’ meeting in Arizona, a lot of talk surrounding the Browns was about who would be the starter at quarterback .
Will it be Sanders? Watson? Could Dillon Gabriel throw his hat into the ring?
If any person has pressure to perform and take the QB1 job, it’s no one other than Sanders. Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken stated how the QB competition is going to go, and it’s going to be based on how last season went and how each QB performed. At the NFL’s league meetings, Browns HC Todd Monken said QB reps won’t be divided equally to begin offseason workouts.
