Dillon Gabriel performed at Oregon's Pro Day on Tuesday to boost his draft sock and was later joined by two former Ducks quarterbacks, Bo Nix and Justin Herbert, both of whom are starting QBs for their respective teams. When a picture of the three posing together went viral on social media, fans mocked Gabriel for his size in comparison to the other two.

Some suggested that Gabriel's picture alongside the taller signal-callers could hurt his draft value.

As per reports, Herbert stands at 6-foot-6, while Nix measures in at 6-foot-2. Gabriel, on the other hand, is 5-foot-11, and the difference in height between the three was visible to all.

The LA Chargers drafted Herbert as the No. 6 pick in 2020. He has been the team's starting QB ever since and also won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He also earned a Pro Bowl honor in 2021.

Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos drafted Nix with the No. 12 pick last year. He had a strong rookie year and led the franchise to the playoffs, where the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.
