Orlovsky explained what he liked most about Daniels.
“The reason why, since I started the process that Jayden was the best quarterback, were two things,” Orlovsky began. “I thought he had the fastest eyes, and I thought that, when you’re covered in college it’s open in the NFL, it’s the best ball placement.
