Summary
Dillon Gabriel is a small, highly experienced lefty with a quick release and average NFL arm strength. He can generate adequate velocity when stepping into throws, but his accuracy fluctuates; he thrives in rhythm yet misses routine throws when off balance. While not a high-level anticipatory passer, he processes quickly and works through progressions well.
More quick than fast, Gabriel has a bouncy pocket presence and enough slipperiness to evade rushers, though he won’t outrun many defenders. He operated in a bootleg- and screen-heavy offense, showing some throw-on-the-run ability but being most effective working within structure.
His poise, quick-game efficiency and vast experience will appeal to NFL teams. While his physical traits are modest, his processing and composure give him a shot at the next level.
About
- Career: Holds FBS records for most touchdown passes (156), touchdowns responsible for (190) and points responsible for (1,136); ranks second in passing yards (18,722)

Strengths
- Smart decision-maker
- Quick release
- Good natural pocket navigation
Weaknesses

Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Going to Cleveland
The Browns selected Gabriel in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 94th overall.
Cleveland was expected to leave this draft with at least one quarterback, but Gabriel wasn't the prospect most anticipated. Gabriel had a lengthy college career with three productive stops at UCF, Oklahoma and Oregon to make him the NCAA's all-time leader in total touchdowns (189). An undersized southpaw (5-foot-11, 205), Gabriel possesses legitimate NFL arm strength and has a great feel in the pocket. Gabriel has 63 starts to his credit and learned several different offenses in college, which bodes well for the mental transition to the league. It's unlikely that Gabriel develops into a starter in the NFL, but it was worth it for the Browns to take a shot on him at this stage.
