Jayden Daniels is seen in a posed photo with his index finger up. In general, it can go first. Probably not.
The LSU quarterback insisted he didn’t care about that.
“I just want to go to the best situation, if it’s the first pick, if it’s the 32nd pick,” Daniels said Friday. I am generally blessed to be here. I will be happy to hear my name called anywhere.”
USC quarterback Caleb Williams is the favorite to go No. 1 overall.
Everyone wants to be the No. 1 overall pick, and everyone remembers the No. 1 overall pick. But only 14 of the No. 1 overall picks in league history in 1936 are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Yes, there is something special. [about being No. 1]” said Daniel. “To be considered the No. 1 overall player, the No. 1 overall pick in that draft, it has some significance to him, but you know, it doesn’t carry much weight to me.
The Heisman Trophy winner has been in touch with every team interested in the quarterback. It may end with the bears. It can be commanders. It could be the Patriots. It could be the Giants. It could be a hawk.
“Whatever situation God puts me in, whoever calls my name, that’s the situation that’s best for me, and I plan to make the most of it,” Daniel said.
In 12 games last season, he completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 3,812 yards with 40 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns.
