The passer rating of 148.1 on balls thrown to Gabriel last season was significantly better than the second-best rating of 129.8 on passes to Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan. Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams had the third-highest, at 124.6.
Last season, Gabriel finished with 35 catches for 579 yards and 6 TDs, playing mainly as the No. 3 receiver behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. He also caused a bit of a stir earlier this year when he said he could outrun Jamaican sprinting champion Usain Bolt in a 40-yard dash.
