All eyes are on Dillon Gabriel as the Cleveland Browns quarterback takes aim to solidify his position on top of the quarterback depth chart. All week long, deafening conversations on sports talk shows and in comment sections focused on the situation between himself, Shedeur Sanders, and a dash of some Deshaun Watson talk.The magnifying glass has gotten so close to Gabriel that one conversation has sparked a mid-game volley of comments. In an Oct. 5 clip posted by Dov Kleiman on X, Gabriel is seen conversing on a landline phone on the sideline. With a finger in his ear to block out noise, Gabriel is seen straining to hear the phone. Fans uncorked jokes.More fans dropped jokes, with a couple joking that he was making long-distance phone calls to one former president and the current president."George bush," another joked.“'Yea mom I’m good, just gotta go win a football game real quick, alright love ya bye,'” another said, imitating Gabriel."Trump," one said.Of course, the most likely explanation is that Dillon Gabriel was talking to an offensive coach or another member of the organization upstairs in the coach's box. The hardline phone is reserved for communication between players and coaches upstairs. Coordinators often prefer to sit up top for a different perspective on the game and perhaps a less stressful environment.Thanks to modern technology, the choice to be on the sideline or in the box above the action is a personal preference in most situations.Dillon Gabriel shows flash in showdown against Minnesota VikingsDillon Gabriel at Los Angeles Rams at Cleveland Browns - Source: ImagnThe Cleveland Browns rookie faced a tough situation with his first start coming in a different country against a defense that has already smashed Jake Browning in his first start of the season.
