In a surprising move during the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns chose quarterback Dillon Gabriel from Oregon with their final pick of Day 2. Despite Shedeur Sanders still being available, the Browns opted for Gabriel, who became the fifth quarterback selected. Gabriel's impressive college statistics include ties for the most passing touchdowns in FBS history and notable achievements such as being named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. His adaptability and experience at top-tier programs make him a promising addition to the Browns roster.
"I've been playing quarterback from a young age and have stepped into top-tier programs that demand success," Gabriel said Friday night. "So, I'm built for this. I'm ready for this."
The Browns ultimately decided on the 5-foot-11, 205-pound Gabriel over Sanders, whose shocking slide continued through Day 2 of the draft.
Gabriel finished his career tied with Case Keenum for the most passing touchdowns (155) in FBS history and second in FBS with 18,722 passing yards.
This past season, Gabriel was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and a third-team All-American as he led the Ducks to a conference championship.
