The third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft made his preseason debut in Saturday's contest with the Eagles ,finishing 13 of 18 for 143 yards with an interception, which was returned for a 75-yard touchdown by Andrew Mukuba, ending his day with a 72.2 passer rating.

Ryan Clark took the time to profess why he doesn't think Dillon Gabriel played that badly on Saturday despite turning the ball over twice.

Dillon Gabriel’s shaky preseason outing with the Cleveland Browns drew sharp criticism from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who playfully lit into analyst Dan Orlovsky for defending the rookie’s missteps on “First Take.”

Jaxson Dart showed his promise, Dillon Gabriel raised some eyebrows, and Jim Harbaugh coached the day after the NCAA’s penalties on Michigan came down.

Joe Flacco will be the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback to begin the 2025 campaign. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski named Flacco the starter for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals over Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

Dillon Gabriel, taken in the third round, and Shedeur Sanders, taken in the fifth, aren't necessarily battling to be the starting quarterback for the Browns. However, both rookies are jockeying for a higher spot on the Browns quarterback depth chart and to be the backup on the game day roster.

By far the most interesting quarterback battle of the NFL offseason has been rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders jockeying for position on the Cleveland Browns' depth chart. Both are impressive college stars who achieved a lot with Oregon and Colorado respectively,

The Cleveland Browns still "do not have a lot of clarity" about their quarterback situation with two NFL preseason games in the books, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Gabriel, 24, had a decent showing during Cleveland’s 22-13 win over Philadelphia, completing 13-of-18 passes for 173 yards. The third-round selection did, however, throw an interception in the second quarter, which the Eagles returned for a touchdown.
