Dillon Gabriel will be entering his sophomore regular season with the Browns, although in a capacity he never expected. After Gabriel ended up as the starter for Cleveland in a number of games in his rookie year, the quarterback is nowhere near the starting lineup in his second time out for them.
Nevertheless, Gabriel is obviously having a great time, entering this new campaign as a married man. Zo Gabriel could not help but show off her Browns-colors inspired game-day outfit for the preseason matchup against the Bills. Although Cleveland badly lost that game, Zo’s outfit was a winner with her orange bag adding a beautiful finishing touch.
Zo was there to cheer on Dillon Gabriel throughout his rookie season as he impressed Cleveland in the games where he was a starter. However, injury woes soon put him out of the campaign for good which gave Shedeur Sanders a chance to shine.
Gabriel is not the starting quarterback for the Browns anymore, with that role going to Deshaun Watson right now, with Sanders as his backup. Nevertheless, Gabriel is an incredibly talented player and Cleveland may not want to do away with him soon enough.
Dillon Gabriel Needs To Try His Best In Preseason Finale Against Pats
Dillon Gabriel is being given an incredible opportunity to show that he is worth retaining by Todd Monken, as he is expected to play for the Browns in the preseason finale against the Pats. The two main starters of the franchise are being sat out on purpose since Monken wants to take a better look at Gabriel and Taylen Green.

This finale might just be one of the preseason, but might matter to Gabriel more than the actual season finale since the staff will be closely watching his moves on the field. In fact, Gabriel’s very future in Cleveland might be decided by this game.
Gabriel’s situation has actually been deemed quite unfair according to many, especially since the player is actually a powerhouse of talent. Some feel that he actually has way more to offer than Shedeur Sanders. Fortune seems to have been kind to Sanders, who got his chance to start in his rookie season despite being the third option and then getting another chance as QB2 in his sophomore year, in spite of a very crowded quarterback room in Cleveland.
