Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel quietly putting in the work at camp

Berea, Ohio - August 03: Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel has quietly been putting in work during the early days of training camp, as he competes in a tough two-man quarterback battle alongside veteran Deshaun Watson. While Watson's return from a previous injury has given him an advantage, Gabriel's performance during his rookie six starts didn't quite match up with the team's expectations.

Despite this, Gabriel remains unfazed, stating he never felt disrespected and understanding the business-like nature of the NFL. Gabriel expresses confidence in his ability to grasp the offensive plays, drawing parallels between his college experience and the Browns' offense. Head coach Todd Monken has noted Gabriel's ability to stay even-keeled and translate his understanding of the offense to the field, despite having limited opportunities to compete.

As the competition to be the Week 1 starter remains unclear, Gabriel's readiness and demeanor have piqued Monken's interest, and he believes Gabriel's performance could prove beneficial throughout the season.
