Shedeur Sanders begins his unique ‘Squid Game’ with the Cleveland Browns and Dillon Gabriel will be his first enemy to eliminate

Starting Friday, May 9, the Browns will host their annual rookie minicamp-a three-day event that serves as the formal introduction to professional football for the team’s seven draft picks, along with several undrafted free agents and players invited to try out.

While it won’t include full-contact practices or immediate roster decisions, the minicamp sets the groundwork for how these players will integrate into the Browns‘ system heading into the summer.

Tom Brady reveals message he sent to Shedeur Sanders during the DraftX

History has shown that what happens in minicamp can reveal future potential. Just two years ago, fourth-round pick Dawand Jones struggled during early drills. But that tough start made his later development in training camp and the preseason all the more impressive.

Early signs from Gabriel and Sanders

Analyzing NFL Strength of Schedule

All eyes will be on the Browns‘ two rookie quarterbacks-third-round selection Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders-as they begin adjusting to life under center in the NFL. This isn’t a full-blown competition yet, but it’s a critical first step in a larger process.

This minicamp is more about planting seeds than solidifying roles. Once veterans like Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett rejoin the group during June’s mandatory minicamp, the true quarterback competition will begin. Until then, this is the stage for rookies to begin absorbing the playbook, adjusting to NFL speed, and flashing their natural arm talent.

Beyond quarterback, the Browns will be evaluating their other five draft picks as they begin learning the scheme. With only two weeks since the draft, it’s unreasonable to expect full comprehension of the system, but what will be evident is raw athleticism.

Each of these rookies was selected in part because of their high-end physical tools. Whether it’s the quick-twitch movement of a defensive back or the burst of a pass rusher, this weekend offers an early glimpse into what the coaching staff saw on film.

Can Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ‘Find That Balance’ to Limit Risk, Reap Reward?

<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> ASHBURN, Va. — The hit that took out Jayden Daniels three weeks ago didn’t look all that dangerous. He dropped back to pass, got flushed from the pocket, ran to his left, and got clipped on his left knee as he tried to pick up a few extra yards.When he got up with a slight limp, there was no indication that he’d miss the next two weeks due to a knee sprain. In fact, he never even left the game against the Green Bay Packers. But the play turned out to be a reminder for everyone of the two sides of the Commanders’ impressive franchise quarterback.He has a huge potential for greatness, a dynamic ability to create plays seemingly out of nothing. But that potential comes with a huge potential risk: The […]

Top-12 NFL running games: Which teams are helping our RBs score fantasy football points this season?

Below, we will look at the NFL offenses with a 40% or better (the top 12 teams) in rushing success rate on their running back runs to determine the best rushing ecosystems through the first month of the fantasy football season. Success rate in this context is a down-and-distance-based efficiency metric.Buffalo Bills - 48.9%James Cook is the No. 1 running back in fantasy football right now. He’s touched the ball 87 times and amassed 401 yards from scrimmage. There’s no question that Cook looks incredible in isolation this year and, in my view, has taken his game to another level. Pretty cool for a player who just signed a mega extension in the offseason.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat being said, this Bills rushing ecosystem overall is a complete machine. They have one of the more layered gap run playbooks in the NFL, and this […]
