Jayden Daniels is no longer scheduled to throw at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, however there still are approaches how the quarterback prospect can make an impression on evaluators in Indianapolis.
Daniels, a great deal like fellow signal-caller Caleb Williams, will be constrained to meetings and interviews at the combine this week. Last season’s Heisman Trophy winner additionally is anticipated to be measured, and groups reportedly will be keeping their eye on a certain number.
“The Pats aren’t worried about his height (6-foot-4) or hand measurement (9 5/8 inches), however scouts prefer to see him at or above 210 kilos at the mix due to the fact there are concerns about his mild body and the big hits he too regularly takes,” The Athletic’s Chad Graff wrote in a column published Monday.
It would behoove Daniels to bulk up a bit, specially if New England selects him at No. 3 overall in late April. The Patriots deployed a mediocre-at-best offensive line closing season, and there’s no warranty the agency will be in a position to improve the unit this spring. A bit greater muscle and weight would allow Daniels to suffer difficult hits that would be compounded by means of suboptimal northeast climate in the second half of of seasons.
Some groups might have no issues with Daniels’ size, though. One franchise reportedly has an “affinity” for the LSU product, who may want to give up up making the Patriots a trade-down candidate on Draft Day.
