Cecil Shorts III has a take on Browns' upcoming QB battle
The Browns will host a four-way quarterback battle in training camp, leaving room for even one of the rookies in Gabriel or Sanders to win the job. One former NFL receiver has a take on the Browns' quarterback situation as well, stating that Sanders should have the upper hand between he and the earlier drafted Gabriel.
Cecil Shorts III, a former Mount Union product and long-time NFL wide receiver, was on The Ultimate Cleveland Show and stated that there is no question who the better quarterback is:
"To me, talent-wise like you mentioned, Shedeur is way better than Dillon... Dillon wasn't on anybody's list. Let's call a spade of spade. Nobody was thinking about Dillon Gabriel being drafted in the first three rounds. Nobody. Wasn't on anybody's list. Nobody was talking about him on TV at all. Come on, let's be real here."
Shorts then even went on to say how he would handle the Browns' quarterback situation, stating that he would let one quarterback play it out for 17 games:
"Let them battle it out, choose one and ride with them and see what they can do... And I'm not big on switching quarterbacks...I hate that. Let the rookie battle all 17 games; if he's healthy, battle all 17 games. Let him develop. Let him get better."
And it's clear which quarterback Shorts prefers.

Social media reacts to Nebraska legend Ndamukong Suh's retirement
A Nebraska legend made a significant announcement on Saturday. Former Husker Ndamukong Suh announced on social media that he is officially retiring from professional football. In a post exceeding 300 words, Suh laid out his decision, reminiscing about his father's passing, which had occurred one year prior. Advertisement "Before he passed, he gave me one final piece of advice," Suh said in his post. "It's time to let football go. You've done everything you set out to do. Now it's time for the next chapter.' Suh's been out of NFL play since 2022, last donning a jersey for the Philadelphia Eagles, making eight regular-season appearances with the team. He finished with 10 total tackles and one sack in that stretch. Suh spent 13 seasons in the NFL after being selected second overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2010 draft. He wasted no time becoming a major force to be reckoned with in the NFL, winning the defensive rookie of the year and becoming a first-team All-Pro. Suh earned two more first-team All-Pros for the Lions before joining the Miami Dolphins and becoming the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history at the time. He spent three years with the Dolphins before signing with the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then closed his career with the Eagles. Advertisement Suh appeared in three Super Bowls in his NFL career, one with each of his final three teams. He hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy with the Buccaneers in 2020. Alongside his retirement, Suh also revealed his plans moving forward, announcing he created a podcast called No Free Lunch.

At Nebraska, Suh won a slew of awards in his Husker tenure, including in his senior year, becoming a Heisman Finalist and the first defensive player to win the Associated Press College Player of the Year Award. Advertisement He led Nebraska in tackles for two straight seasons, racking up 85 in his senior year, the most by a defensive lineman since 1974.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On one side of the golf world, Rory McIlroy is chasing his 2nd title at the Genesis Scottish Open. Whereas across the Atlantic, the atmosphere couldn't be more different at the annual American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. With stars like Stephen Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Charles Barkley, Josh Allen, and Travis Kelce lighting up the Edgewood Tahoe GC, the weekend has been anything but quiet. Amid all this, Kelce unfortunately made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Saturday. The incident unfolded mid-round when the NFL superstar, playing alongside his brother Jason Kelce and Baker Mayfield, launched an errant shot that struck a male spectator. Thankfully, unlike last year, no one's been bloodied this time around. The fan, luckily a Kelce supporter, managed to laugh off the incident, especially after the 35-year-old star offered a heartfelt apology, signed an autograph, and posed for a photo to smooth things over. STATELINE, NEVADA - JULY 11: Travis Kelce plays his shot from the second tee box during the first round of the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on July 11, 2025 in Stateline,...

Saturday's situation got resolved swiftly, but as many NFL analysts and fans know, this wasn't Travis Kelce's first brush with golf course chaos. His unpredictable swings at the celebrity tournament led to a haunting situation back in 2024, when Kelce accidentally struck a fan (Kate Hauss) in the head. It was so extreme that Hauss was later diagnosed with a concussion and required stitches. Travis Kelce's play at American Century Championship The 35-year-old pro was dressed in a pink polo from Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red collection, and had a Saturday round full of drama. Paired with Mayfield and Jason, the trio turned the fairways into a frat party as they shotgunned beers and danced to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." There were also rumors swirling that Taylor Swift might attend, but she was nowhere to be seen. But her absence didn't stop fans from chanting her name or blasting her music across the course. And how can one forget that basketball shot? Kelce finished the round tied for 62nd place, while Jason landed at 83rd out of 90 players.
