So we\u2019re not going to let anything get in between of that. So it\u2019s a level of respect that we all in the quarterback room have for each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019re not really emotional when it comes to things that we can\u2019t control. We mainly focus on and thrive on getting better in the work every day. So if I like something he\u2019s doing, I ask. If he likes something I do, then [he] asks. It\u2019s conversation, and that\u2019s what\u2019s most effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cabot noted that Cleveland\u2019s top receivers Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Cedric Tillman, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston were among the attendees at the workouts in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was extremely important that us as a group, for whoever was available, was available to come down to Miami,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cAnd there were a couple other players that schedules didn\u2019t align with it, but it\u2019s all good for those that came and stuff. It was truly amazing. And we felt a different type of bond just outside of the facility, outside of these things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we all vow to continue doing our part and keep it going while we\u2019re here. Those relationships and how funny it is when you have a lot of dialogue and in different situations where a lot of your teammates is very fun and it\u2019s exciting. You create these real memories, these real bonds, and it\u2019s irreplaceable. So I\u2019m truly thankful that it happened. I know everybody that came was excited and we had a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Browns rookies are set to report to training camp in Northeast Ohio on July 23, with veterans reporting on July 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson are set to continue their competition to become Cleveland\u2019s QB1 at training camp&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-774227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=774227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=774227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=774227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=774227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
