Cleveland Browns Face Quarterback Competition Ahead 2025 Season

The Cleveland Browns are facing key decisions for their 2025 NFL season, particularly regarding their wide receiver corps and quarterback situation. Undrafted rookie Luke Floriea, compared to NFL legend Julian Edelman for his quickness and toughness, could be a valuable slot receiver addition amid the team's weak wide receiver depth. At quarterback, the Browns have a crowded field with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, and rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel vying for the starting role; former NFL players and coaches have called on head coach Kevin Stefanski to commit to developing one rookie quarterback to secure the franchise's future. Former NFL cornerback Herm Edwards specifically predicts rookie Shedeur Sanders will win the starting job, citing his talent and his Hall of Famer father Deion Sanders' influence. Additionally, Browns legend Otto Graham was recently ranked among the top 15 quarterbacks in NFL history by CBS Sports, highlighting his foundational impact on the franchise and the quarterback position. These developments underscore the Browns' ongoing efforts to build a competitive team through both promising new talent and recognition of their storied history.
