The Cleveland Browns currently have three quarterbacks on the roster. Is this what the team will be doing going forward? Despite being a third-round draft pick last year, Dillon Gabriel might be staring down at being QB3.
The odds-on favorites are veteran Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders being named the starter in Week 1.

Fagnano just wrapped up his seventh year of college football, having played four years at Maine starting in 2019 before heading to Storrs. Fagnano started at least four games in every college season but one (2023, when he dealt with a shoulder injury), but only played a full season in 2022 (his last year at Maine) and 2025.
