ESPN's Stephen A. Smith takes issue with Browns QB Dillon Gabriel's "entertainer" comment, a perceived slight towards Shedeur Sanders.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback sparked conversation Saturday when he said football players are “entertainers, not competitors” during a preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The remark drew plenty of attention on social media, and Monday morning, ESPN’s Smith tore into the rookie on First Take.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns engaged in a preseason battle, but that was only due to the exhibition slate mandated by the NFL. The crowd was half full at best, as both the Eagles and Browns got their work in during the joint practices at the NovaCare Complex earlier this week.

Jaxson Dart showed his promise, Dillon Gabriel raised some eyebrows, and Jim Harbaugh coached the day after the NCAA’s penalties on Michigan came down.

Dillon Gabriel got his first preseason start for the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles and delivered a bit of a mixed bag.

Kevin Stefanski wanted both of his rookie quarterbacks to start a game, and he got his wish, even though Gabriel was almost a game-time decision because of his injured hamstring.
