Entering the 2025 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns are going through a major quarterback competition. While there are four players competing for playing time, Shedeur Sanders has become the talk of the team. While he may not begin the season as the starting quarterback for the Browns, many believe that he will end it in that role.

Houshmandzadeh —who was an NFL wide receiver for 11 seasons including eight with the Bengals —said he believes the race has narrowed down to Dillon Gabriel or Kenny Pickett, despite their being earlier reports saying that Sanders and Flacco were performing well in minicamp.
