Browns rookie 'doesn't look like an NFL quarterback,' says beat writer image

The Cleveland Browns have four quarterbacks competing for spots on the depth chart.

As you've probably heard 100 times by now this offseason, there are the veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and the rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

In the early going, The Athletic's Zac Jackson says one of these is not like the others.

"Dillon Gabriel does not look like an NFL quarterback to me," Jackson said on the Zach Gelb Show. "Like 0%, so I don't know what's going to happen."

To an extent, that's not totally surprising.

Gabriel was a prolific college passer, but most draft analysts projected him to go in the late rounds.

The Browns shocked everyone by taking him No. 94 overall in the third round.

Cleveland then made it weirder by catching the free falling Shedeur Sanders at No. 144 in the fifth round.

But heading into the draft, it seemed almost everyone assumed Sanders would have a better NFL career than Gabriel.

That's playing out in the early going, according to Jackson.

The Browns will have to get rid of one of these QBs eventually. It might just end up being Gabriel.
