The Cleveland Browns had their first day of offseason minicamp on Tuesday, April 21st. While it's still far too early to tell who the starting quarterback will be, it's the first real look the Browns are getting at their options.

Todd Monken, the new head coach, got to see all three of the quarterbacks get some run on day one. But there is seemingly already a two-headed race for the starting job. One of the three possible starters looks to be on the outside looking in for the Week 1 starter.

As Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports from Browns minicamp, Monken hinted at who the two competing for the starting job will be, with Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson being the two clearly favored by Monken, and Dillon Gabriel firmly in third.

Browns QB competition down to 2 players: Sanders vs. Watson

"We were just rotating who was first reps. Shedeur to start, there were some other reps... The way it was going to turn out, Shedeur was going to get more reps..." Monken said. "It was set up in a way to get a look at all of them, the plan was for Shedeur to get a few more reps, but to let Deshaun and Shedeur both get reps with the ones."
