The talented lefty quarterback gets a chance in the second week of the preseason. He starts for the Browns against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. He's certainly got quite the collegiate pedigree to call upon. The Cleveland Browns drafted Dillon Gabriel late in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He went No. 94 overall.

While Sanders is not expected to play, per the team, he was in uniform before the game, as seen in a photo posted by Browns play-by-play broadcaster Andrew Siciliano. Sanders, who infamously slid to the fifth round in the draft after initially being projected as a top-five selection, enjoyed a strong debut in Cleveland’s preseason opener.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel said that he wasn't taking a shot at teammate Shedeur Sanders in the team's 22-13 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday.
