The Browns have one of the league’s most intriguing quarterback competitions in the league, but one of the players taking part in it says the participants haven’t lost sight of the fact that they are all on the same team.
Deshaun Watson is headed for a reserve list due to his torn Achilles, but Shedeur Sanders, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabril are vying for three roster spots so you might expect little collaboration between them. Sanders told Kay Adams at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere that the players are “different characters,” but that he’s been learning from his more experienced teammates as they work to get ready or the 2025 season.
“Everybody’s [cool in the room](https://x.com/heykayadams/status/1925172944491422199),” Sanders said. “Outside the room, people try to pit us against each other, but, inside the room, we know we’re one.”
The early phases of the offseason program focus on conditioning work and learning the offense, so things will be heating up with the team on the field for OTAs, minicamp and training camp. That may lead to some changes in how everyone approaches one another and the Browns will be hoping that the setup pushes all the participants to their best.
