Watson and Sanders Share Reps as Voluntary Minicamp Gets Underway
Coach Todd Monken said the Browns planned the split to evaluate all three quarterbacks and maximize 11-on-11 reps.
- On Tuesday, the Cleveland Browns opened their voluntary minicamp in Berea, Ohio, with head coach Todd Monken initiating an open quarterback competition. Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson split first-team repetitions during 11-on-11 drills.
- Watson has not played since October 2024 due to major injuries, seeking a fresh start. Sanders returns after starting the final six games last season, going 3-4 with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
- Coaches are utilizing helmet-mounted GoPros to track eye movement pre- and post-snap as Monken plans to rotate repetitions throughout the three-day camp to assess which quarterback functions best.
- Dillon Gabriel also participated, working primarily with the backups as the team navigates the transition. Monken praised the quarterbacks' command of the playbook, noting they functioned "unbelievable" despite limited time learning the system.
- Competition for the starting role will continue through organized team activities in May and June. The Browns' front office may bolster the roster during the draft beginning Thursday, adding variables to the ongoing evaluation.
