What we learned about Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders at Browns rookie minicamp May 10, 2025

Show notes

The Browns opened their rookie minicamp on Friday and, unsurprisingly, the two rookie quarterbacks, third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders, took center stage. Neither of them spoke to the media but they did practice for the first time in Browns uniforms.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the day on Friday’s rookie minicamp recap Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They discussed the early pecking order of the two and why it matters who takes reps when, even if head coach Kevin Stefanski disagrees, and discuss what you can and can’t learn in rookie minicamp.

They also touch on what they saw and heard from other Browns rookies on Friday.
