Some athletes launch their pro careers with sports cars. Dillon Gabriel chose a Chrysler Pacifica.
Yes, the Heisman hopeful and freshly minted Oregon alum has signed on as the newest ambassador for Chrysler’s flagship family hauler—a minivan with more sliding doors than pass attempts in the Big 12. The move, equal parts surprising and brilliant, introduces Gabriel not just as a quarterback but as a brand-ready adult with Bluetooth priorities and cargo space sensibilities.
It’s his first major endorsement since going pro, though not his first dance with brands. During his collegiate run—UCF, Oklahoma, Oregon, in that order—he landed deals with Celsius, Beats by Dre, and even Great Clips (which, if you’ve seen his hair, was either ironic or a warning label).
Now, with over 230K followers and a clean transition into the NFL pipeline, Gabriel is front and center in Chrysler’s pitch for the Pacifica: a minivan for people who want horsepower, room for cleats, and just enough swagger to make “carpool” feel like a flex.
You know, for when your QB1 energy also needs to hold groceries.
