Brief
Browns' rookie minicamp sparks quarterback buzz as Dillon Gabriel takes first snaps over Shedeur Sanders, but coach Stefanski urges fans not to overthink it.
The Cleveland Browns kicked off their rookie minicamp with a quarterback conundrum that’s juicier than a halftime hot dog. Third-round pick Dillon Gabriel snagged the first snaps, leaving fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders in the wings, but head coach Kevin Stefanski was quick to douse any speculative flames. "Don’t read into it," he said, waving off the snap order like it’s just another play call.
Stefanski’s mantra? It’s all about the long game. With spring practices unfolding, the team’s focus is on a holistic evaluation, not just who’s first out of the gate. Both rookies showed promise, but the coach stayed coy about Saturday’s lineup, keeping the quarterback plot twist under wraps.
The Browns’ quarterback room is more crowded than a tailgate party. With Deshaun Watson sidelined by a twice-ruptured Achilles—ouch—the team’s banking on a mix of veterans and newbies. Enter Kenny Pickett, traded from the Eagles, and Joe Flacco, signed for a one-year stint, alongside the rookie duo. Who’ll claim the Week 1 throne? That’s a question for September, and Stefanski’s got a plan—probably scribbled in a playbook somewhere.

Why’s the Browns’ QB room busier than a Cleveland diner at rush hour? With Gabriel and Sanders duking it out, it’s like watching a reality show where the prize is a playbook. And poor Deshaun Watson—his Achilles is screaming ‘retire me!’ while Stefanski plays 4D chess with his roster. Here’s a joke: Why’d the football go to therapy? Too many ‘snaps’ and not enough commitment!
