What They AREN’T Telling You About Jayden Daniels.. 

It’s funny to me how when Joe Burrow had Chase and Jefferson no one said it was his receivers. Jayden Daniels had one of the best college football seasons as a QB EVER.

Jayden Daniel’s beat Justin Herbert and the #6 Oregon as a freshman while at Arizona but nobody is talking about that…

He just needs to take less brutal hits, in college he was damn near close to catch a hospital trip if he kept playing like that

Lamar was in the same boat as him. The ravens did an amazing job build a scheme that maximizes his potential and gave him all the needed to succeed. If Daniels is willing to put in the work, eat/workout, and listen to coaches, he will be just like Lamar. Lamar stayed humbled and grinded to get where he is at and that is often overlooked in his rise.

Year before last he was gunshy but you can’t knock him for that anymore. He lead the country by a mile in explosive throws. That was his biggest improvement year 1 to year 2 at lsu

Daniels - 2023 rushing attempts 135 rushing yardage 1100 ....needs to make up his mind if he's a running back or a quarterback. Rushing against NFL secondaries is a dangerous game. With that said I hope the kid is successful in the NFL a very exciting player.

Jayden daniels & cj stroud putting the IE on the map

As a patriots fan I like this kid so much I’m praying Caleb and Drake go 1 and 2 Jayden has the potential to be the best in the class

Am so glad that someone else agrees with me on that

I took a shot after every time he blinked, I got shit faced in 7 seconds.

we’ll see how well this ages

Great video bro. You just earned a new sub. JD is the truth!

The 2 things that make me nervous about him. He’s skinny & doesn’t slide. Doing that in the NFL gets you killed.

This is all the same things said about Marcus Mariota before that draft

Jaden Daniels had Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. at LSU, and even before that he had Brandon freaking Aiyuk at ASU. I think throwing to those guys covers up a LOT of issues. Those are better receivers than almost any NFL team has.

Drafting QBs is 80% luck and 20% scouting/research. Every player that gets drafted needs to greatly improve their game upon entering the league. If they are able to or willing to work hard enough is hard to quantify. The most important skill a QB must have is the ability to process information quickly and accurately. Also being able to make all the passes obviously but still below processing ability. It's tough to evaluate this skill in the time you get with each player.

You know who else started 4 years in school? Aiden O'Connell and I actually think he has a CHANCE, i'm not saying he will but I think he has a chance to be a good QB in the league in time with a full camp and starter reps. He has a very good arm he just doesn't move very well and has to learn how to maneuver inside the pocket under pressure I don't care if he can run the ball.

as a bear fan JD intrigues me more than CW

I'm sure he can start in the NFL, but I don't see him coming into his own as a top QB unless a team can utilize his skills in a way that protects him from the style he has grown accustomed to playing in college. I'm scared that this kid has some serious RG3 aura following him as he goes into the NFL. I'm not in love with JD, so if he falls to number three in the draft and I was the Patriots, I would trade back to gain draft capital so that I could fill all the holes I have. I've been a diehard Patriot's fan since the mid 80s so if they draft him, I will completely back him with cheers. I would hope that they wouldn't rush him into a QB1 roll and that they setup the Offense to support a playing style that would benefit him at the NFL level (as it SHOULD BE adjusted to keep him healthy). The NFL won't let him get away with a lot of his go to moves from college. He's an incredible athlete, and his style is what makes him so valuable, and such a risk. Availability is always the best ability. Does it matter how great you are if you're injured?

Nobody can deny his tape is great. The question is how well his tape translates to the NFL? There I have some problems Firstly I dont care about his age or size. Development is not linear and he could still improve. As for size, injuries are imo random and just because hes smaller doesnt mean he is a lock to get injured. The problems are: - Passing playstyle: He doesnt make alot of full field reads, hes not as bad as his comp (RG3) was but there are plays where he will do one read then take off. This would be fine if he wasn't a 5th year starter. - Scrambling is good right? Well not if youre just running. Jayden does not once keep his eyes down the field when out of the pocket and will only run. This is not sustainable, top QBs like Mahomes and Josh allen (and even 2nd tier QBs like Stroud) make alot of their magic while scrambling keeping the throw alive. Jayden will take off running and not throw it. He will even bail from an astronomical amount of pockets which leads to his bottom 5 pressure-to-sack% of all college QBs. He scrambles on 20% of his clean pockets! There are quite a few instances on tape of his WRs getting open (usually over the middle, a place he doesn't often target) but by the time theyre open Jayden has decided to run. Nice 5 yard gain, but could've been a 20 yard throw if he kept his composure in the pocket. - Team: While its true he will have two 1st rd talent WRs, that doesn't automatically mean he was carried by them... but in this case you can make that argument. On tape its clear Jayden doesn't fit many tight windows, which will only get tighter in the NFL. His WRs usually had 3+ yards of separation which made the decision to throw an easy one. If they weren't, then he wasn't throwing. This is how stats can lie to you. The talent is still there with Jayden. You'll have to be patient, like the ravens were with lamar. Lamar picked up NFL QB passing skills in his 3rd or 4th year of being a rusher, and the team picking Jayden will have to navigate that path with similar running QB busts (Fields, RG3, Mariota) scattered along the way. Hes worth a 1st rounder for this chance alone, but not in the top 3 in my opinion

I was paying attention until I saw the ball @ 5:11! Then I had to rewind....now I'm typing this!

You see Lamar, I see RG3. Guys who don't slide in college don't slide in the NFL. Also, he rarely makes off schedule throws. Once he leaves the pocket, he's running. He's a really good passer on schedule but he definitely has flaws.

Forget Caleb, THIS is the one teams should be trying to put together a package to move up and get. ZERO chance the Commanders OR Pats pass on him.

Jayden looks amazing his throwing motion is perfect he’s tall enough to see over the Oline he will get multiple rings before he retires

Nobody paid attention to Jayden daniels until after he won the award lol

While i disagree, I loved this video man. Good stuff!

Jayden is a beast, He is fast and a very good passer.

Jerod Mayo will draft this kid

Caleb is just way better than Daniels and The Drake. It’s not even close. Full stop.

If the bears are smart they would trade down to 2 take Jayden Daniel’s and at 9 try to either get Nabers, Odunze, or even Joe alt if possible. As we see Jayden Daniel’s is a dual threat and his only issue is taking hits why wouldn’t they take the 40-4 pass ratio man with high upside. Caleb Williams has a bigger chance to be a bust because he bails a lot and fumbles even more when are NFL coaches gonna see that JD is that guy

You have sold me on Daniels over Maye. Waiting for a Maye enthusiast to change my mind back.

That going to commanders will make him a bust automatically. Their fans deserve a winning team and they are ahead big time not having that owner

The combination of accuracy on down field throws and the ability to make game changing runs definitely makes Daniels the QB prospect with the highest ceiling but he has serious bust potential just based on his frame and play style which could easily lead to serious injuries. Drake Maye has the highest floor of the QB's in the draft IMO. Caleb has all the hype but I'm not convinced that he'll be good executing an NFL offense right away.

Great video! You just got a new subscriber

People are just bored about hearing Caleb Williams. Caleb is the best QB in this draft by far

I started getting excited as a pats fan but knowing them they would take joe Alt instead

Idk if Jayden paid you for this video but to say he has very few weaknesses is ridiculous. Showing a little less bias will help with your analysis.

Great video brother. 👍🏾

Although he is from my alma matter, I don't think he is better than Caleb. LSU wide receivers can inflate your stats. Caleb is a beast and if he gets with the right coach, he might become an MVP level player in 5 years.

I hope Commanders get him. We need a solid quarterback and how bad our offensive line has been, he needs to be able to run. His life may depend on it.

He will be Raider mark my words

I don’t understand why nobody thinks this! He’s way better than Caleb to me!

Higher ceiling than Caleb? you’re tripping

here's the thing about the draft, no one knows how these guys will do at the pro level. Ive seen way too many overhyped guys turn out to be busts, year after year.

Bringing up the fact that former USC quarterbacks and comparing them to Caleb Williams is a dumb take when the most significant factor is Caleb Willams was coached by Lincoln Riley who coached QBs like Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, and Jalen Hurts who all have been above average quarterbacks in the NFL

Totally Agree! Bears GM Ryan Poles if he is smart, will draft Jayden Daniels with the No. #1 overall pick and not, Caleb Williams.

Redskins first thing they do is show him Rg3 injury. Protect himself when running.

Jayden Daniels reminds me of rg3, I worry about him staying healthy and making the transition to the faster NFL game

AS A PATRIOTS FAN, i REALLY HOPE THEY TAKE WILLIAMS OR MAYE. DANIELS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE BUST

This guy is a commander

Raiders gonna move up and grab Daniels

Jaden should be the number 2 overall pick…!

i hope the Raiders pick him up

Steelers fan here. We'll take him 😊

Why’s ya washer and dryer next to ya stove?

First, consider the volume Daniels ran the ball. Since 2019 (which is as far back as TruMedia’s data goes for FBS players), no quarterback has scrambled more times than Daniels did in college; his 258 career scrambles not only sit firmly at the top, it sits in its own stratosphere. Only one other quarterback had more than 200 scrambles since 2019 and the player who ranks third, 2023 Cleveland Browns draft pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson, finished with 167 scrambles in his career, nearly 100 fewer than Daniels. (via Yahoo Sports Column by Nate Tice NFL Analyst)

Does anyone remember RG3? Me neither...taken 2nd overall in the 2010 draft. Played well for his first season. 2nd season got hurt and that was it.

Daniels has had some major injuries, torn ACL’s you have all the talent in the world but if you got gummy legs, you won’t make it past your rookie contract

Needs to hit the weight room and he’ll be fine, that’s always been my only issue with the guy, that and when he puts his head down he’s running. Great talent, he just needs to protect himself in the NFL, if he plays behind a bad line his career won’t last long

JD5 will be a Viking in the draft 24!!!!!

It was his 6th year...he was playing against younger players. It's a thing.

There’s no way this dude said Caleb Williams holding onto the ball for hero ball is a big problem, then said that Daniels holding on the ball for too long is an easy fix like a minute later. This is coming from a person who wants the bears to trade down a pick and get Daniels lmfao

YES HE IS THE # 1 PICK IN THE DRAFT JAYDEN DANIELS.

I can already hear the bones breaking.

If you like Maye check out that Clemson game😬

Your trippping Caleb is something else badddd take

I got ALL the way into the 12th minute until the "future is determined by the color of the jersey" bullshit. THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL YOU GO TO DOES NOT DETERMINE YOUR POTENTIAL!!!

if they are comparing him to lamar jackson that isnt saying very much.

He’s like clearly not the best qb in the draft class. CLEARLY. Click bait is click bait. That being said he has a really nice ceiling. He just can’t be out there taking on LBs and Safeties. Whoever drafts hit better have a strong OL. Probably the best case is gonna be a few designed runs per game, some RPO concepts. But he can’t be out there like Hurts because Daniels is the size of a WR. He’s really slight. Hopefully whoever drafts him teaches him to slide, unlike what we saw from AR in Indy last year.

Future Viking. Purple n gold looks good on him

Jayden Daniels will have the highest career % of sacks on pressured dropbacks of any first-round quarterback in the last five years (via PFF)

Maybe the bears will see it that way.

If he can stay on the field I see big things for this kid

Idk why but he reminds me of a faster CJ Stroud

Daniels will be a Stud in the NFL! Defenses can't plan for these types of players at the QB position. It's been a long time coming, but personnel evaluators finally figured out that putting the best athletes at the most important position is a nightmare for defenses. Lamar Jr!

Sounds like he is just like Justin Fields.

If he was 220lbs , he would be #1... gain 15lbs in 2yrs

Mark Sanchez is responsible for the greatest play in NFL history. The Butt Fumble!

Caleb can make reads the thing I like most about him is he always keeps his head up when he scrambles. He is always looking for easy downfield throws. All three of theses top QBs have flaws

Caleb won't be playing in the "what is defense?" Pac 12 or Big 12 this season. So we really have no clue what he can do against actual defenses. Maye is raw and no one has any clue how his size and talent will translate to the NFL. Daniels looks like a surefire franchise QB, if he can stay in one piece. Bears will take Caleb and trade Fields. Commanders will take Maye because Adams has already made comments in the past about Daniels and can't see him taking him. That would leave Daniels for the Pats and make lot of people happy in New England. Cards and Bolts are hoping for this scenario because it leaves Harrison, Nabors and Odunze siting there to be taken.

THE BEARS WANT NABORS AND DANIELS WITH THEIR 2024 FIRST ROUND PICKS.

Jayden is coming home to the Commanders…

Welcome to the Commanders. Hopefully Kingsbury can bring the best out of this kid.

We already had Jaydon Daniels and his name was JF1. At this point it's CW or bust

I am with you I like Danies more than Williams and I am not discounting the talent of Williams either!

Go watch Johnny Manziel then watch Caleb Williams. They have a very similar play style I don’t think Caleb will be a bust but he has to fix some things and has to most certainly play in structure at the nfl level

Daniel had 1 good year out of 5. Take Maye, 2 years younger as well

Pats need JD

Raaiidddeerrrrrrsssss

He’s got Lamar Jackson’s legs with Joe Burrow’s arm. Caleb is like Mahomes but unfortunately the team that drafts him won’t have Andy Reid, Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill.

Daniel’s is the best QB in this draft. In my mind, it’s not even close. Caleb isn’t as good of a team mate, and has a hard time reading better defenses!

Only thing I don't agree with you. You said he has good arm strength. But it isn't that good. He struggles to zip it it tight coverages. When he runs. I noticed when hes about to get hit. A lot of times he didn't cover the ball with his both hands.

NO it depends on what team and situation they go to so can’t just say they will make Pro Bowls the wrong situations can stunt a really good PLAYER career

Williams played in the Defense-optional PAC 12 & zero-Defense Big 12. Against a good defense (Notre Dame & UCLA ‘23) he was very average. And he’s short.

Future commander tbh

I need him I washington please let him not go 1

Shhhh I need my Redskins to draft Jayden Daniels brother

Daniels to the Commanders

Idk about that but we shall see

Future Patriot 🙏🏿
