The most intriguing quarterback battle in the NFL is a few days into the training camp phase in the battle, as the team put pads on for the first time during Monday's practice. Veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett remain the presumed leaders in the clubhouse, while rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders get their feet wet in the NFL scene. That hasn't stopped fans from buzzing about rookies on social media, as Sanders has had fans excited after solid throws through the first few days.
The few glimpses we've seen into camp have shown some very nice things for Sanders, but the whole picture isn't clear, and Monday was the first time he didn't practice against backups and guys on the roster bubble.
