Browns Reporter Roasted After Mocking Dillon Gabriel's Appearance
The Cleveland Browns made a surprising move when they drafted former Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft with the No. 94 overall pick.
Gabriel was expected to be drafted, but he was viewed more as a sixth-round pick by most. Instead, the Browns decided to take him in the third round, which shows a belief that he could become a legitimate franchise quarterback down the road.

While Gabriel put together a big 2024 season with the Ducks, there have been some knocks on his game.
One of the biggest knocks has to do with his physical size. Gabriel is just 5-foot-11, which brings up some questions about his ability to see over the offense line to be able to make the right throws and decisions.
A storyline has come up about Gabriel and a reporter in Cleveland that was at his recent press appearance. In a video shared by Dov Kleiman on X, the reporter was seen saying that he was taller than Gabriel, mocking the quarterbacks size.
Fans did not hold back in the comments section. They roasted the reporter for his actions and mocking Gabriel's height.

Another comment read, "Yeah but you are just a reporter."
"The reporter was wrong too, if you look at where Dillon height was on the screen versus the reporter, loud and wrong," a third comment said.
A fourth fan commented, "He looks the same size lol. He's basically Russel Wilson's size. People better not be sleeping on Gabriel."
"he wasn't even taller fr," a fifth comment read.
It will be interesting to see how the Browns' quarterback competition goes throughout preseason and training camp action. Gabriel will be battling with Shedeur Sanders, Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett for playing time as a rookie.
