LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels enters the 2024 NFL Draft as the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
Daniels is coming off a fantastic season that saw him go 236 of 327 (72.2 percent completion) for 3,812 yards (11.7 per attempt), with 40 touchdowns to just four interceptions. He also carried the ball 135 times for 1,134 yards (8.4 per carry) and another 10 touchdowns. Daniels’ success in 2023 catapulted him to the top of draft boards, and he will likely be a Top 5 selection in the upcoming draft.
However, the fairytale ending belies a winding road for Daniels.
