Former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels is causing quite a stir in the lead-up to the 2024 NFL draft. Despite his standout season and Heisman Trophy win, Daniels seems less than thrilled about the possibility of being drafted by the Washington Commanders.
According to a report by Adam Schefter on The Pat McAfee Show, Daniels has expressed interest in being drafted elsewhere. This comes after his pre-draft visit with Washington did not go as planned, with his agent speaking out against the team’s decision to evaluate four quarterbacks, including Daniels, at the same time.
Washington currently owns the No. 2 overall pick in the draft after trading Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks. In a mock draft by Bleacher Report, Daniels was actually selected by the New England Patriots with the third pick, indicating that there may be other teams interested in his talents.
Bleacher Report NFL Scout Derrik Klassen praised Daniels’ pocket presence and athleticism in his scouting report, further adding to the intrigue surrounding the young quarterback. With the draft fast approaching, it remains to be seen where Daniels will ultimately end up and how his career in the NFL will unfold.
