Browns QB battle begins: Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders (but don’t forget Dillon Gabriel)

About this episode

The episode discusses the Browns' first voluntary minicamp practice and the quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel.

The ⁠Browns⁠ conducted their first voluntary minicamp practice on Tuesday and it offered up our first look at new head coach Todd Monken’s practice style and the quarterback competition. On the latest ⁠Orange and Brown Talk podcast⁠, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk about everything they saw on the practice field on Tuesday. They start with Monken’s style. It was a long, physical practice and it set a tone of what we’re expecting from Monken as we wind towards training camp. Then they get into the quarterback competition. Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are the clear frontrunners, but where does Dillon Gabriel fit in? Could Watson really win the job? How did Sanders look in Year 2? They cover it all on their Orange and Brown Talk minicamp recap.
