Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. Though Gabriel is splitting reps in OTAs, Browns' coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated that anything can happen as the offseason progresses.

When the Cleveland Browns selected former Oregon standout quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round at No. 94 overall, most of the NFL was shocked. Gabriel was not expected to be picked until the sixth or seventh round. With other better quarterbacks available still, the selection was an absolute surprise.

The fate of the 2025 Cleveland Browns season rides mostly on the team’s defense and their attempt to rejuvenate the rushing attack. Despite that, the Browns quarterback competition will be the biggest storyline, especially given the lack of play style continuity among the four quarterbacks competing for the job.
