He also set the record for most career starts in college football history with 63. 

He’s projected to sign a four-year,  $6,226,322 rookie contract that includes a $1,168,232 signing bonus. 

During his six-year college career, Gabriel completed 65.2 percent of his pass attempts for 18,722 yards, 155 touchdowns and 32 interceptions, adding 1,209 rushing yards and another 33 scores on the ground.
