Dillon Gabriel is set for his first start with the Cleveland Browns.The rookie quarterback will have his chance to show what he can do, and lead the team in London, after veteran Joe Flacco failed to inspire much on offense through four weeks of the 2025 NFL season.Gabriel will make his first start for the Browns in London on SundayGettyCleveland are 1-3 going into a stormy game against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and head coach Kevin Stefanski has ushered in a new era by confirming Gabriel as his starter.But another rookie, Shedeur Sanders, remains out in the cold.He is still buried behind Flacco on the depth chart, as the third string quarterback.Many expected Sanders to be Gabriel’s backup if the Browns decided to bench their veteran, but that is not the case.NFL insider Tony Grossi has since explained why the team refused to promote him in London.The former Colorado star, who is the son of NFL great Deion Sanders, responded to that setback by falling silent.Instead of offering a response to Gabriel’s promotion, and Flacco’s benching, he decided the best thing to do was to mime his answers to reporters in a bizarre locker room interview.Sanders’ silence made major headlines, and arguably stole the spotlight from his teammate, who is set for the biggest moment of his career in London.Sanders sends message to Gabriel ahead of first Browns startBut ahead of kickoff on Sunday, he made his true feelings on Gabriel clear, by sending him a one-word message on social media.Sharing a photo of the pair practicing side-by-side, Sanders simply used hashtags to convey his support, writing: “#dawgs @dillongabriel.”Sanders sent a one-word message of support to fellow rookie GabrielInstagram: ShedeurSandersWhile he will still be sidelined himself at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Shedeur’s shout out to Gabriel will go down well with Browns fans, and help him take back control of a media narrative that has done a fair amount of damage in recent days.Sanders’ silent interview labeled ‘immature’ by ESPN analystThe 23-year-old QB has faced a lot of backlash for his silent interview, with former NFL star turned ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky the latest to describe his actions as ‘immature’.“When you’re at that that at that position, no matter where you rank on any kind of depth chart, as a quarterback, everything you do and say is a job interview in the NFL,” Orlovsky said on First Take last week.“That 30 or 40 seconds, while he may not be an immature person, that’s an immature moment. Does that 30 or 40 seconds help you in your own building?“Is there anybody in the Cleveland Browns, in that building, that sits there and goes, ‘Yep, that’s a good moment for Shedeur. He shows growth or maturity, or he handled that well or whatnot.”“Are you helping yourself in your own building? And then is that helping you outside of your own building? Sanders has taken criticism for his recent actions, which have been labeled immatureGetty“Is there another team, a general manager, a president, a decision maker that’s going, ‘I liked that. I liked that. I think that person’s going to help us.'”Orlovsky went on to clarify that he doesn’t believe Sanders is an immature person, but that he hopes someone close to the rookie will help him avoid these situations in future. He continued: “While he may not be an immature person… that’s an immature moment.“And I hope there’s somebody in Shedeur’s circle that says, ‘Hey, be yourself, I just don’t think that’s helping you when it comes to you solidifying a role at that spot in the NFL.'”NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?Sanders, no doubt, still has a lot of learning to do if he wants to one day establish himself as a starter in the NFL.After falling silent on the media, he has returned with a message of support to his new No. 1 quarterback, and that suggests he is already growing from the recent fallout.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
