Nobody could have predicted that former first-round hopeful Shedeur Sanders would have fallen to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft, where he was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th pick. But as unlikely as that was, even crazier was that the Browns took another quarterback—Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel—two rounds ahead of him.
And considering how Sanders has dominated the conversations since, with Gabriel being treated as more of a footnote, you might think the pair would be feeling a bit competitive or hostile toward one another as they jockey for the starting quarterback spot. But that's where you'd be wrong.
