Before selecting Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters solicited advice from two people he knows very well.
Per ESPN's John Keim, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk gave strong reviews to Peters about the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
"One source said San Francisco receiver Brandon Aiyuk, a close friend of Daniels', sang his pal's praises to Peters. And San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan, with whom Peters worked for seven years, also gave Daniels a glowing review," Keim wrote.
