Jayden Daniels impresses scouts, general managers, and coaches at LSU Pro Day.
Jayden Daniels is one of the top quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, but is he in the top three? He tried solidifying his spot as one of the top three picks in the upcoming draft by wowing NFL executives at LSU’s pro day.
Even after his Heisman-winning season, Daniels is battling with Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy for the number two overall pick. His ability to run and pass cannot be replicated, but he did do enough to cement his spot as an elite QB in the NFL.
Jayden Daniels Measures In
Daniels declined to measure or weigh in at the NFL combine, but his numbers impressed many.

Jayden Daniels Throws
Jayden is one of the most talented athletes in the 2024 draft, but some have questioned his arm talent. Jayden needs to make all the throws, not just the big ones. Today’s throwing performance should showcase all his skills, not just his big arm.

Daniels Shows Support
Here are two different glimpses of Daniels as the type of teammate he is.

The other is a more touching story. Daniels showed support for teammate Greg Brooks. Jayden wore Brooks’ number today when throwing. Brooks was diagnosed with brain cancer in the fall.
