Dillon Gabriel follows in Shedeur Sanders' footsteps with solid Browns preseason debut

Shedeur Sanders made his mark in one of the most discussed preseason games in recent history. After his surprising draft day slide, Sanders showed out against the Panthers with two touchdown passes and a 106.8 passer rating. Unfortunately, Sanders suffered a minor oblique injury in one of the joint practices against the Eagles, and Kenny Pickett wasn't ready to return to full game action.

With Joe Flacco also sitting until the dress rehearsal against the Rams next week, Dillon Gabriel got his first chance with an extended look after missing the last preseason game. The rookie looked solid, like Sanders did, leading three scoring drives.
