Browns push depth at OTAs with four-quarterback rotations on Day 2

Day 2 of Browns OTAs featured four quarterbacks—Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green—rotating through two-spot drills to maximize reps and development, with no clear frontrunner yet. Watson showed his athleticism, Sanders has progressed in decision-making, and Gabriel/Green split reps to keep all options in play. A highlight was Watson-to-Denzel Boston for a deep TD in 7-on-7, while veterans returning from injury (Dawand Jones, Elgton Jenkins) saw action and Judkins contributed on the backfield. The defense created turnovers in 7-on-7, underscoring a competitive spring session ahead of minicamp.
