Sheder Sanders is not the only quarter to Cleveland Browns Rookie Minicamp, although we can be forgiven for overlooking the little Dillon Gabriel.
Recovered in the third round of the NFL draft last month – two complete rounds before Sanders at n ° 144 – Gabriel was hampered by initiates on its listed height, which went from 6 feet to Oregon at 5 feet 11 inches during the screening combination.
And these questions did not decrease with his arrival at Minicamp recruit this week in Berea, Ohio, where Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal was surprised to make fun of the recruit of the NFL, 24 years old.
“I am bigger than him,” easterling, seems to say in the viral clip for the exchange of Gabriel with journalists on Saturday.
Daily Mail confirmed the identity of Easterling with the team and contacted the winner of the editors’ prize in the Associated Press media for its own height listed.
The quarters of the NFL are generally larger than 6 3 inch feet, which helps them to see above the offensive line and identify the receptors below.

However, many quarters of 6 feet have been successful, including the winner of the 5 -foot super bowl 11, Russell Wilson, as well as the former winner of Heisman and Buffalo Bills, Doug Flitie 5 feet 10 inches.
Currently, at least two runners measure only 5 feet 10 inches: Kyler Murray from Arizona and Bryce Young de Carolina.
Gabriel is in competition with Sanders as well as the veteran Joe Flacco and the former replacement of Philadelphia, Kenny Pickett, for the departure position in Cleveland.
Friday, coach Kevin Stefanski said he was impressed by the two recruits of Berea.
“I think the fun part is that we spent so much time before the cog with these players, especially when we talk about our quarters with Dillon and Sheder,” he said.
“We spent time with them outside this building. We brought them back through the step -by -step procedures, then they can go to do it in uniform with the helmets and see what they can take from the meeting room to the grass.
Cleveland Browns Dillon Gabriel (5) and quarter-Arrière Sheder Sanders (12) launch passes during minicamp recruit at the CrossCountry Campus Campus
The two quarters started with individual work and an exercise 7 against 7 before each one obtained six games during the exercises in a full team.
Gabriel, which bears n ° 5, took the first snaps at 11 against 11, probably because it was the choice of higher recovery. Stefanski, however, did not give a reason.
“I think you will see all weekends, including spring, we are not paying too much attention to who is there first,” said Stefanski.
Because they wrote two quarters, the Browns modified their training schedule to allow more work 7 against 7 – the players of the competence going against the seconds and the secondary. Cleveland has signed six wide receivers and two tight ends to try the contracts this weekend to maximize snaps.
The biggest adjustment for Sanders and Gabriel will be to work more under the center after playing most of their career in hunting rifle training. The attacking coordinator Tommy Rees instructed two quarters on the areas to improve.
Stefanski said the two players have to work on the technique as they are about to join the quarter room with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett next week.

Regarding the quarter competition, Stefanski did not mean if someone was still ahead.
“There is a lot of time by September, so we will have a plan. This is a global assessment, “he said. “It is not something that it is simply based on representatives of practice. There are a lot of things that come there.
The defensive platform Mason Graham, which the Browns took with the fifth choice, said that it did not matter for him that there was more attention to Sanders.
“I come to play football. If the media are on me, then they are on me. If the media is not, this is not the case. I’m just going to do my job at the end of the day, “he said.
Unfortunately for Graham, Michigan’s product was seen vomiting on the training field on Saturday. Mary Kay Cabot de Cleveland.com reported that the robust defensive had left the field to rinse her helmet, but managed to return.
