LSU’s Jayden Daniels downplays issues with Commanders, says he’d be ‘blessed’ to go No. 2 overall
Associated PressDETROIT — Jayden Daniels handled the media with the same poise and command he displays in the pocket. “Whoever calls my phone, whoever gives the card to the Commissioner that says my name, I’m blessed to go and they’re gonna get my all.” Pressed further about the Commanders and asked if he’d be OK going there, Daniels replied: “100%.” The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner from LSU is expected to be one of the top three players selected Thursday night. “I’ve known AP since I was a teenager, so obviously our relationship off the field meant a lot,” Daniels said. “We’ll see what happens but I’m blessed to go wherever I’m called.” Daniels, Williams and Maye are among 13 players in town for the draft. Football is about having fun.” Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix could join Williams, Daniels, Maye and McCarthy to make it six quarterbacks in a first round that’s loaded with offensive players.
