In the unpredictable world of the NFL Draft, players can only guess where they might land. But for quarterback Dillon Gabriel, it seems he had some supernatural insight—or at least a very talkative bird—that knew exactly where his football journey would take him.

In what can only be described as one of the most bizarre draft coincidences in recent memory, Gabriel correctly predicted not just the team that would select him, but the exact draft position — months before it happened.

In a video released on the official NFL Instagram page, Gabriel was filmed in his home state of Hawaii, showcasing the scenic beauty of the islands. During the segment, he performed a bird call from a picturesque viewpoint. When jokingly asked what message the bird had shared about his draft prospects, Gabriel responded with startling specificity:

“Cleveland Browns, No. 94.”

At the time, the prediction seemed like nothing more than a lighthearted moment. Gabriel was widely projected as a Day 3 selection, and most draft analysts had focused on higher-profile quarterback prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Jalen Milroe.

But then draft night arrived, and as the third round unfolded, the Cleveland Browns found themselves on the clock with — you guessed it — the 94th overall pick. When Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Gabriel’s name, social media erupted in disbelief.

Fans quickly connected the dots to Gabriel’s prophetic prediction, with comments ranging from amazed to humorous. “Does he know the winning lottery numbers?” one fan quipped. Another wondered, “Wait, how did that bird know?”

Gabriel now enters a quarterback room in Cleveland that presents both opportunity and challenge. With no clear-cut starter identified, he’ll compete with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, as well as fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders, for the starting position.

Browns fans will get their first glimpse of both Gabriel and Sanders at the team’s rookie minicamp, which begins May 9. And while no one knows for certain who will emerge as Cleveland’s starter when the season begins, one thing is clear: if Gabriel’s bird-whispering abilities are any indication of his football instincts, the Browns may have found something special with the 94th pick of the draft.
