Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel gets Joe Flacco to strike hilarious pose in first look photoshoot [VIDEO]

Even though a fierce quarterback competition is going on in Cleveland, with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett in the quarterback room with rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, it seems like the vibe is unaffected.

On Monday, the Browns held their 2025 Media Day at CrossCounty Mortgage Campus, and as is typical, team members participated in photoshoots.

Gabriel is seen convincing 40-year-old Flacco to make a humorous posture in one of the team's media day preview videos that have been made public. The rookie stood up behind the seasoned quarterback, who was squatting with a ball in one hand in the recreated picture.

Here's a video showing how Gabriel persuaded Flacco to work with him on the photo recreation.

Additionally, the Browns revealed a photo of Sanders wearing the No. 12 jersey in his gameday attire.

Sanders, Flacco and Gabriel will compete fiercely to start at quarterback for the team during training camp.

Cleveland chose Gabriel with the 94th pick in the third round of April's draft and subsequently selected Sanders in the fifth round with the 144th pick. Both must show what they are capable of before they can earn the right to play for their new team.

Race for Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders to start for Cleveland Browns in Week 1 continues in training camp

The Cleveland Browns rookies appear to have already started drawing attention, according to early reports from minicamp. According to some reports, Shedeur Sanders statistically outperformed the three other quarterbacks by a significant margin in one session.

As the Browns assess who will ultimately be their quarterback, the coaching staff will look for moments of genius like that during workouts.

Although neither Dillon Gabriel nor Sander is anticipated to start the season, the one who impresses the most during training camp may be the first to get significant playing time, especially if Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco struggle early.

Due to their experience, Flacco and Pickett are favored to start at quarterback. However, Sanders' talent and intriguing collegiate track record may make him an underdog in the competition.

The Browns are in a transitional moment at quarterback following the failure of the Deshaun Watson project, and the quarterback room will be extensively examined during training camp.

Whether Gabriel or Sanders will see enough action this season is still uncertain, but the anticipation surrounding their talent is increasing.
