The Cleveland Browns travel to Acrisure Stadium this weekend for a road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n
Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel will make just his second career start after being selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
The Oregon product has shown poise and command in limited action, but questions about his height continue to follow him into the professional ranks.<\/p>\n
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch believes those concerns are outdated and don\u2019t reflect the modern game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt used to be a disadvantage because everybody wanted this prototypical-type quarterback \u2014 6\u20195, 230, standing in that pocket \u2014 but the evolution of this game needs these quarterbacks to be mobile, and you have to be able to make plays,\u201d Batch said on the BIGPLAY Cleveland Show. \u201cSo, you don\u2019t necessarily have to be that 6\u20193, 6\u20195 guy anymore; you just have to be able to make the right decision and deliver the football.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n"You don't have to be 6'3, you just have to be able to make the right decisions and deliver the football." #DawgPound<\/a> @CharlieBatch16<\/a> says Dillon Gabriel can succeed in the NFL despite his height.<\/p>\n
