Entering the upcoming 2024 NFL draft, Jayden Daniels’ stock could not be much higher after an incredible college season with the LSU Tigers. While some young quarterback’s may be feeling the pressure, Daniels remains composed an assured about what he can offer an NFL franchise.
Daniels is projected to be a top five pick with some experts believing the 23-year-old could be selected as high as no. 2 overall. If the Washington Commanders do decide to pass on Daniels, the New England Patriots hold the third pick. After legendary quarterback Tom Brady led the franchise to six Super Bowls in 20 seasons, it is safe to assume Pats fans have high standards for their quarterbacks.
Daniels was recently asked if he could handle the pressure of following three-time NFL MVP Tom Brady.
“I played in Death Valley after Joe Burrow,” responded Daniels per a recent article from CBS Sports. “I feel like I’m ready for anything. I’m a game-changer at the quarterback position. That’s what I can bring to that franchise.”
CONFIDENCE: #LSU QB Jayden Daniels won't be worried about playing in the shadow of Tom Brady if the #Patriots draft him.
