Sanders went 14\/23 passing for 138 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The good news for Gabriel is that it doesn&#8217;t seem that this performance puts Sanders ahead of him in the pecking order. That is for now, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel will still have to progress through training camp and once he gets action in preseason games.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAt this point, they would feel more comfortable putting Dillon Gabriel in a regular season game than they would Shedeur Sanders.
