LSU is holding its pro day Wednesday and quarterback Jayden Daniels will meet with the Minnesota Vikings and five other teams immediately after his workout, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport is reporting that Daniels has not met with any teams prior to his pro day and that he’ll be meeting Wednesday with the Vikings, Patriots, Commanders, Giants, Broncos and Raiders.
It’s unclear who from the Vikings will meet with Daniels. According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Kevin O’Connell is not among the six credentialed head coaches who are at LSU’s pro day: Jerod Mayo (Patriots), Dan Quinn (Commanders), Matt Eberflus (Bears), Brian Daboll (Giants), Antonio Pierce (Raiders) and Dennis Allen (Saints).
Daniels could still have private meetings and workouts with teams before the first round of the NFL Draft on April 25.
Daniels is projected to be a top-three pick in the NFL Draft and on Tuesday Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer told Dan Patrick that he thinks the Vikings, Giants, Raiders and Broncos are vying to make a move up the draft board to select a quarterback, likely aiming for a deal with the Patriots at No. 3 or the Cardinals at No. 4.
Breer believes Daniels could be the No. 2 overall pick by the Commanders.
Fans will be able to watch Daniels go through passing drills when NFL Network goes live from LSU’s pro day at 12:50 p.m. CT.
Daniels was measured at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds on Wednesday, which might help address concerns that his slim build might not hold up in the NFL. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is a dual-threat QB like Daniels, is listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds coming out of Louisville in 2018 and he’s currently listed the same on the Ravens website.
Jayden Daniels was measured at 6-3 5/8, 210 pounds, 9 3/8 hand size.
Daniels is out here watching teammates run their 40. His throw session later today was put together by his QB coach @Taylor_Kelly10. Plan is roughly 55 throws — under center showing footwork, deep throws, etc.
