Scouting Report: Strengths

- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
- Most of the time Daniels is at ease mentally in the pocket, and he’s willing to stand in and absorb hits while making a throw.
- Ball placement at short and intermediate levels is a strength. Daniels moved quickly through progressions when asked to.
- Physically, he is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- Daniels has good arm talent, and it could get better as he polishes his mechanics and footwork.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s going to have a tough time with full-field reads. Accuracy’s an issue when throwing into tight windows.
- Daniels often fails to set his feet; his stride is extremely inconsistent, leading to constant accuracy problems.
- He’s clearly more effective when on the move, and many of his reads were half-field.
