Derrick Harmon and Dillon Gabriel shared a locker room last year in Oregon, and now they’ll be on opposite sides. On Monday, Harmon talked about his former college teammate and offered a scouting report on the Browns’ new starting quarterback. Though Gabriel lost his starting debut, he showed some encouraging signs, so the Steelers can’t afford to take him lightly.
“Great football player. Hell of a guy off the field, too, man”, Harmon said of Gabriel, via the Steelers’ website. “Very smart quarterback. He’s very smart. I feel like he knows his weaknesses and his strengths, and he’s gonna use them, and he’s gonna make sure that you don’t use his weaknesses against him.
