Mike Daniels might be a few seasons removed from his best work, but he remains a very solid option along the interior of the defensive line for teams looking to bolster their front sevens. Last year, his first season in Detroit, was arguably his worst season as a professional since his rookie campaign. He notched just 13 total pressures and one sack, his lowest output since that 2012 rookie season with the Green Bay Packers.

But two seasons ago, back in 2018 with Green Bay, Daniels tallied 32 total pressures and a pair of sacks, very solid numbers for an interior defensive lineman.

Durability is a bit of a concern with Daniels. He played just 419 snaps for the Packers in 2018, missing the final six games of the season with a foot injury that placed him on injured reserve. Then last year he saw a career-low 203 snaps with the Lions, dealing with another foot injury early in the year that kept him out of the lineup for a few weeks, and then going on injured reserve late in the year with an arm injury.

If an organization is satisfied with Daniels from a health perspective (something that bears watching given our current global landscape and the difficulty in getting physical examinations completed) they are getting a decent interior defensive lineman who is just a few years removed from elite play in the inside.
