Dillon Gabriel's selection in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns highlights the Oklahoma Sooners' reputation as a premier quarterback breeding ground, often referred to as 'QBU'. With the potential for six former Sooners to start as quarterbacks in the NFL by 2025, the legacy of excellence continues. Gabriel's journey, alongside others like Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurts, shows how Oklahoma's talent translates into professional opportunities.

The crowded QB landscape in Cleveland, including Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett, and Sheduer Sanders, adds intrigue to Gabriel's rookie season. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams, coming off a Heisman win, is set as the Chicago Bears' starting quarterback, aiming for a breakout in his sophomore year. Spencer Rattler, drafted by the New Orleans Saints, faces competition but has proven he can win games. Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray remain standout examples of Sooners achieving success, with Hurts leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory. Baker Mayfield, despite his ups and downs, has found a home in Tampa, looking to build on a career resurgence.
