There are plenty of NFL teams that will be searching for a quarterback early in the first round, and Daniels is among the favorites to be selected within the top five.

"He's going to be so committed to taking care of himself that you're not going to have to worry about size or [if] he doesn't weigh enough," Kelly said Wednesday, via CBS Sports. "Lamar (Jackson) has done a pretty good job with his size. (Patrick) Mahomes — I wouldn't consider him a giant. Because he (Daniels) is going to get the ball out to the playmakers and make plays. For Washington."

The former Tigers star was the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner. He threw for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and only four interceptions last season. LSU finished the season 10-3 as Garrett Nussmeier replaced Daniels to win the ReliaQuest Bowl.
