The head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski, announced the designation of rookie Dillion Gabriel as the reserve quarterback for the team. He will occupy the position of #2 after 40-year-old veteran Joe Flacco.
Trades on quarterbacks began after the trade of Kenney Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders, which opened up a spot for one of the new Browns players. Shedeur Sanders, who was selected in the fifth round of the draft in April, now occupies the position of #3.
Gabriel is expected to miss the first match of the preseason due to a problem with the upper body, but he is projected to participate in the upcoming two matches. The Browns' coaching staff expressed positive feedback about his skills and readiness to play after he played in three different programs over the course of six seasons in college.
Notwithstanding the collective under training time, Gabriel finished his first summer season in the NFL, leading the Browns to one touchdown and one field goal during two series in the final match of the preseason.
Kevin Stefanski emphasized that Gabriel continues to improve his skills. The Browns selected Gabriel in the third round of the draft, which indicates that the coaching staff has high expectations for him.
According to analysts, notwithstanding the successful debut of Shedeur Sanders, Gabriel appears to be more ready to play than his colleague. According to the words of former NFL quarterback John Klark, Gabriel demonstrated better stability in the execution of obligations during the preseason matches.
