Both Sanders and Gabriel are newly drafted quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns, with the latter being selected first in the 2025 NFL draft. While both the players are indeed pretty talented, there have been several groups of people debating as to who has got the better potential for the team\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders split his college football career with the Jackson State Tigers and the Colorado Buffaloes before being selected as the 144th\u00a0pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns. On the other hand, Dillon Gabriel was the 94th\u00a0pick in the third round of the draft after playing college football for the UCF Knights, the Oklahoma Sooners and the Oregon Ducks last.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI believe this, that Dillon Gabriel was a reach. I don\u2019t think he is an NFL QB of note. I think Shedeur\u2019s gonna win the job.
