Undersized, weak-armed, super-experienced QB.

Knows where to go with the football but will be limited to mostly underneath passing in the NFL. Good pocket movement. Capped ceiling due to age and athletic deficiencies. Can be adequate backup in time. Browns needed another QB in their room.

Clearly we should have taken the weaker armed, less experienced, less athletic Shedeur Sanders.


I'm not pounding the table saying Gabriel will be great, but this "analysis" feels rather lazy to me. Honestly, it feels like it was written thinking they were drafting Sanders then they changed the name, added super experienced, and tacked a couple sentences towards the end.

The only "athletic deficiency" I see is size.

I expected a weaker arm looking at the size, but that's not what I saw on tape when I actually watched him play.
