Browns' Shedeur Sanders shrugs off Dillion Gabriel's 'entertainers' comment: 'Nobody's words affect me'

Colin Cowherd explains why the misinterpretation of Dillon Gabriel's ‘entertainer’ comments could soon push the Cleveland Browns out of the Shedeur Sanders business.

Last week, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel's comments raised some eyebrows.

Gabriel spoke to a reporter during halftime of Saturday's Browns-Eagles preseason game and noted "there are entertainers and there are competitors."

He also described himself as a competitor. After the game, Gabriel was asked if the contrast he mentioned was a reference to teammate and fellow rookie Sheduer Sanders. Gabriel then clarified his remarks, saying he was describing the media as entertainers, and he considered everyone on the Browns roster a competitor.

As the saga dragged on, Sanders offered his perspective.

"I know that God put the ability and the power in me to not even care about people's comments. It is what it is. I spoke with him. He [Gabriel] told me on the plane ‘that wasn’t at you. I see how they're trying to spin it.' I'm not tripping, regardless of whatever it was. Nobody's words or anything affects me."

A reporter followed up by asking whether Sanders believed Gabriel.
