Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good (not elite) arm strength and can easily make all the NFL throws with effortless deep passes.
- Physically, Gabriel is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- Athletic quarterback who is a threat to leave the pocket and gain positive yardage at any time. Possesses very good vision balance, elusiveness and deceptive speed and power as a runner.
- Gabriel has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy, demonstrating the ball placement to allow receivers to run after the catch.
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to improve his touch at all levels and know when to gun it and when to take something off his throws. Accuracy is solid, but far from great with streaky ball placement downfield as Gabriel tries to thread the needle too much.
- He’s clearly more effective when on the move, and many of his reads were half-field.
- Mechanically, his stride is inconsistent, adding to accuracy issues. His decision making after the snap is shaky.
