Cleveland has structured its quarterback evaluation process differently this year. The coaching staff splits the offense into separate drill groups during practice.
They also use walkthrough technology inside team facilities to maximize development opportunities for each player.
Injuries have cast a shadow over the Browns’ camp. Shedeur Sanders is just days out from an oblique setback, while Dillon Gabriel continues to manage a hamstring as he prepares to face the Eagles.
Constant evaluations and shifting offensive rotations create pressure throughout camp. Each quarterback knows their performance directly impacts their standing with the coaching staff.
Kenny Pickett, once limited, is easing back in, though doubts about his full readiness remain. Within the quarterback room, the atmosphere feels tight.
“Man Under Center” arrives at a crucial time for the Browns organization. Roster decisions loom large as the final preseason game approaches.
The Browns face significant pressure to identify their starting quarterback before Week 1.
