Following Friday's practice, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was questioned by media about a practice decision he made about the two quarterbacks, causing a firestorm of emotions on social media as readers strongly questioned a Browns reporter. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was asked why Gabriel took the first snaps on offense ahead of Sanders.

Shedeur Sanders began the process Friday of trying to show he can be a factor in the Browns’ quarterback competition.

Sanders tumbled to the fifth round of the NFL draft — where the Browns threw him a lifeline by trading up to No. 144 with the Seahawks to select him. On Friday, he went second in team drills, 11-on-11s and red-zone drills to Dillon Gabriel, who was drafted No. 94 in the third round.
