Gabriel made six starts for the Browns as a rookie before suffering a concussion, which opened the door for Sanders to get a crack at the starting job. Gabriel appears destined for the third spot on the quarterback depth chart in his second season in Cleveland, barring a trade to another team more in need of help at the position.

Gabriel was selected No. 94 overall by Cleveland in the 2025 draft, ahead of Shedeur Sanders despite carrying more of an 'undrafted' grade. The source states it does not understand taking Gabriel ahead of Sanders, noting that Sanders proved to be the best young passer on the roster and the keeper of that duo. Gabriel ranked 26th among 32 rookie starters since 2020 in EPA/attempt (-.25, tied with Sanders).
