"Is that Bruno Mars?" another fan said. "Bet he’s jamming to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole," a fan wrote. "Naming my next child Dillon Gabriel the 2nd if he somehow pulls off what seems like another impossible win in Pittsburgh," one fan commented. "Lookin like a middle school kid that’s bout to get his lunch taken," another fan commented. "Gotta know what my guy is listening to pre game. Like we bumping Sexyy Red, or we listening to Hawaiian Reggae music?" one fan tweeted.

Gabriel, selected with a third-round pick in April's draft, was decent in his first start last week. He stayed clear of significant errors and had 19 completions for 190 yards and two touchdowns.

However, despite the rookie's encouraging performance, the Browns lost to the Minnesota Vikings in London 21-17.

Gabriel will face one of the NFL's most seasoned defenses at Acrisure Stadium, a venue where Cleveland has only won once since 2004.

His backup for Week 6 will be Shedeur Sanders, according to Browns coach Kevin Stefanski on Friday.

The 2016 Super Bowl between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots is his most favorite of all time, and if given a chance to go back in time, he would love to witness the Patroits’ incredible comeback from being 28-3 down to winning 34-28.
