The reality for Sanders on Wednesday was that he served as the fourth-team quarterback and was the only one of the four not to take any reps in the two 11-on-11 periods. It showed that Sanders has his work cut out for him in the four-way quarterback competition, and will have to leapfrog the other three if he hopes to start at all this season.

After the second day of organized team activities or OTAs with the Cleveland Browns, quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for two touchdowns and one interception.

The Cleveland Browns will have an unusual offseason, employing four quarterbacks who all have the potential to earn the starting job ahead of Week 1.

All these reps add up, and they’re being graded on every play," Stefanski said. "We just love the opportunity to be on the practice field."

Sanders completed 7 of 9 passes with three touchdowns, while Pickett finished with a 9-for-16 line, Gabriel connected on 11 of 16 passes with two scores and one touchdown and Flacco added one touchdown with a 9-for-14 showing, according to data from ESPN Cleveland.

A father of five children ages 8 to almost 13, Flacco famously joked in 2023 here that if he had messed up in high school, he could be the father of some of his teammates. So it is with the current quarterback competition, in which he’ll try to beat out Kenny Pickett, 26, and rookies Dillon Gabriel, 24 and Sanders, 23.

Sanders shared his thoughts on the early relationships he's built with the other passers in Cleveland's quarterback room.
