Former LSU quarterback and 2023 Heisman winner [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] is among the top quarterback prospects in the 2024 NFL draft, and he may have helped his stock on Wednesday at the Tigers’ pro day.
Daniels — who only interviewed and didn’t run through drills at the 2024 NFL combine earlier this month — got to show scouts his arm for the first time up close and personal, and he didn’t disappoint.
He quickly showed off his acumen with the deep ball, which is one of his top traits as a passer moving ahead to the next level. His arm certainly caught the attention of both those in attendance and the broader NFL media.

Daniels is considered a top-three quarterback prospect in the draft and could go as high as second overall. Regardless, he isn’t likely to fall outside the top five.
