NFL Rookie Quarterback Dillon Gabriel Signs Endorsement Deal With Chrysler

Former college football standout and NFL quarterback Dillon Gabriel has partnered with the Chrysler brand and its award-winning Chrysler Pacifica minivan, marking one of his first endorsement deals as an NFL athlete, according to company officials in a press release. Selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns, Gabriel has been on the football field with his Chrysler Pacifica surrounded by his Oregon Ducks teammates following games during his collegiate career, citing his fondness for the vehicle.

“We’re thrilled that Dillon selected the Pacifica minivan as his personal vehicle,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand CEO. “Dillon could drive pretty much whatever he wants, and we are honored that he chose the segment-leading Pacifica, which offers the safety, comfort and style he needs to travel with his teammates—and the opportunity to create lasting memories along the way. We’re proud to continue to support Dillon’s journey as he begins his NFL career and builds bonds with his fellow teammates.”

Traveling Together

Gabriel first shared his enthusiasm for the Pacifica during an interview with Big Ten Network’s Guy Haberman last year, conducted inside the vehicle itself. Since then, the Pacifica has become a symbol of his journey, supporting not just his physical drive, but his drive for connection, comfort and leadership, noted the release.

“I always like to joke around that I’m built for comfort,” said Gabriel. “In addition, given insurance, cost and being able to have space for other people, I’ve always loved the minivan, so I try to use it to my advantage. I think the cool part is, you know, in high school you go on these trips together, whether it’s in another state, on the plane, in the hotel, (it’s) things you remember for a lifetime. But also, when things aren’t mandatory, having the car ride to go grab a bite to eat, or even when you have the downtime retreat, we all kind of carpool because there’s a longer drive, so with all of that, I think it just helps having a vehicle that can fit everyone.”

The Chrysler brand celebrated its 100th anniversary on June 6 and is marking the historical occasion with events throughout the summer. The brand revealed a special 100th Anniversary Pacifica buzz model to commemorate the milestone and has rolled out a seven-part social media series celebrating Chrysler’s 100-year history.
