HEYTC AI
Dillon Gabriel's rookie season with the Browns came to a disappointing end as Cleveland finished 5-12 and missed the playoffs entirely. The third-round pick appeared in 10 games during 2025, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions, but struggled significantly as a starter with a league-low 5.1 yards per attempt. After taking over for Joe Flacco in Week 5, Gabriel went 1-5 before suffering a concussion that allowed Shedeur Sanders to seize the starting role. With head coach Kevin Stefanski fired and the team's quarterback situation in flux, Gabriel's future in Cleveland remains uncertain. HeyTC's #58-ranked quarterback will likely face an uphill battle to prove his worth in the offseason, as the Browns' new coaching staff will almost certainly prioritize addressing the franchise's glaring need at the quarterback position.
