Dillon Gabriel shines in Browns preseason despite QB competition controversy

Dillon Gabriel delivered an impressive first half for the Cleveland Browns against the New England Patriots on August 28, throwing three touchdowns and completing 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards. Despite his strong performance, head coach Todd Monken has named Deshaun Watson as the starting quarterback and Shedeur Sanders as the backup, leaving Gabriel as the third option. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III criticized the Browns' quarterback competition, arguing that Gabriel was not given a fair opportunity. With cuts due on August 30, Gabriel's future with the team is uncertain, as his display might attract interest from other franchises.
