The Cleveland Browns surprised everyone when they wrote Dillon Gabriel de l’Oregon with their third round choice, while Shedeur Sanders continued to fall into the NFL recovery board.
Perhaps an even larger surprise was when Sanders was taken by the Two Rounds franchise later, creating a quarter-wrapped quarter with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett in the running for departure work.
Sanders having obtained the national spotlights, Gabriel was in the shadow of his new teammate in terms of coverage.

But the finalist of the Heisman trophy gave the perfect answer to journalists from the Cleveland region to the Minicamp recruit when asked how we felt to have Sanders as a teammate.
“I love it,” replied Gabriel on Saturday. “You know, I love it because of who it is. I think just for both of us, you can learn from each other. But also, it’s not only both in the room. At least for the moment [during rookie minicamp] It is, but, you know, entering the year, Kenny, Joe and even Deshaun [Watson]Just a bunch of guys who played a bunch of ball that we can all learn from each other. “”

Watson does not think of being in the running to play this season after having reduced his Achilles during rehabilitation last season.
Gabriel was asked about NFL fans who already compare his representatives to the Minicamp recruit in Sanders, and another appropriate team response was the result.
“I think the more questions I ask myself, it just divides the team,” he said. “For me, we are in a room full of not only we – Kenny, Joe and Deshaun. For us, we know how important a QB room is. But also, a team you want to be part.

“How do you create an environment every day when everyone can be the best? It’s just to push each other, what talent does it naturally. Naturally, it’s healthy. For us, we will all do our thing and everyone wins.”
Just as Sanders has recognized the quarter competition which will surely be a scenario of the NFL this pre-season, Gabriel knows that it will have to be at its best if he wishes to obtain the departure position at week 1.
“I only know one way of preparing myself,” said Gabriel. “I only know one way of working, and it’s like the starter. You know, I played a bunch of ball and I have a lot of experience, so I will use it to my advantage.”

For the moment, it is likely that Flacco’s work will lose in the training camp, given his story with the head coach Kevin Stefanski. There are only two seasons, Flacco was literally out of the sofa and ran the offensive of Stefanski in the playoffs, a miraculous feat that earned him the return player. Stefanski received the coach of the year.
But comparisons and criticisms between Gabriel and Sanders seem natural to this stage because of the way they are linked after this year’s project.
