Despite this cautious stance, Glazer did acknowledge Daniels’ standout qualities, particularly his impressive arm strength, especially when throwing on the move.

One of Daniels’ notable strengths lies in his ability to generate remarkable velocity, even when throwing across his body off-platform. His precision allows him to consistently deliver on-target passes, showcasing his versatility on the field.

Daniels is known for his nuanced throwing style, employing a delicate touch for short and intermediate passes while displaying the capability to launch deep throws with pinpoint accuracy. This multifaceted approach has contributed to his success at LSU, earning him several prestigious awards and accolades.

Additionally, he clinched coveted titles such as the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Davey O’Brien Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year, and AP Player of the Year. Perhaps most notably, Daniels secured the Heisman Trophy, solidifying his status as one of college football’s brightest stars.

Reflecting on his college career, Daniels amassed impressive statistics that underscore his impact on the field. Boasting a completion rate of 66.3%, he racked up 12,749 passing yards, threw 89 touchdown passes, and recorded 20 interceptions. His passer rating stands at an impressive 158.4. Not confined to his throwing prowess, Daniels showcased his dual-threat capabilities with 3,307 rushing yards and 34 rushing touchdowns.
