"Could see that move happening": Urban Meyer predicts major upset in Shedeur Sanders-Dillon Gabriel battle after Coach Prime's son gets named QB3

The Cleveland Browns will play the LA Rams in their third preseason game at home on Saturday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski released his quarterback depth chart for the game earlier this week. Shedeur Sanders was listed third and Dillon Gabriel was at No. 2, with veteran Joe Flacco set to start for the team.

Colin Cowherd was among those perplexed by the move and debated why Sanders was placed behind Gabriel despite a strong performance in the Panthers game.

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer shared his opinion on "The Herd." Meyer dove deep into Stefanski's move and provided a possible reason why Gabriel was picked before Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft. He also expects Sanders to rise up the depth chart in the future.

"The coach of the Browns stepped out and said, I want to pick this quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, in the third round, and then, by the way, Shedeur is still available. We'll take him,” Meyer explained to Cowherd on Thursday (Timestamp - 0:20).

“Unless it was obvious. I think that the coach of the Browns said, this is I put my name on him, and I'm going to give him an opportunity first. So it sounds to me like it was real close.

“If it's real close they're going to go with the guy that they spent all the time, evaluating, drafting, and they don't want to be wrong, but they also have to win so if shedeur gets better and better, which I think he will at some point you know you can see that move happening,” he added.

Shedeur Sanders expected to make 53-man roster of the Browns

While speaking to reporters this week, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about his plans to trim the roster to 53 from 90 and whether he would take all four QBs. He mentioned that it was “unrealistic” to have all four in the final roster, with the standard being 3.

“I think we’ll let it play out as we get closer to the cut down…Those are all conversations that we are always having, but those are tough decisions,” Stefanski said. “You know I’d like to keep everybody, but not realistic.”

If Sanders gets a chance to feature against the Rams and he impresses, there could be further alterations to the depth chart.
