Shedeur Sanders has indeed been outperforming Dillon Gabriel at the Cleveland Browns’ rookie minicamp. According to reports from reliable sources, including Browns insider Zac Jackson, Shedeur Sanders looked “sharper” than Gabriel during the camp. Jackson even stated that “it’s not close” between the two quarterbacks, with Sanders having the edge.
Some key observations that highlight Sanders’ performance include:
– Accuracy and Arm Talent: Sanders’ throws have been impressive, with Jackson noting that the ball “jumps off his hands and spins it”.
Leadership and Command: Sanders demonstrated his ability to take play calls, command the huddle, and get everyone lined up, impressing coaches and observers alike.
– Comparison to Expectations: Despite being drafted in the fifth round, Sanders has exceeded expectations, while Gabriel, who was taken in the third round, hasn’t quite matched those expectations.
It’s worth noting that the competition between Sanders and Gabriel is just beginning, and the Browns’ quarterback room is also occupied by veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, as well as injured Deshaun Watson. The performance at rookie minicamp doesn’t guarantee a starting spot, but it certainly sets the stage for an interesting battle.
