Questions about the Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback position have persisted throughout the early offseason while the team has conducted a coaching search. Is there any chance they’ll find the solution in the 2018 NFL Draft?
In an effort to select their signal caller of the future, the Falcons are set to land LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels with the eighth overall pick in this year’s draft, according to a recent mock draft made public by FanNation.
Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, oversaw an explosive LSU offence this year that topped the Southeastern Conference with 543.5 yards per game and 45.54 points per game. After defeating the Wisconsin Badgers in the ReliaQuest Bowl to cap off the season, the Tigers finished with a 10-3 record.
Daniels was even more remarkable as an individual, passing for 3,812 yards and an astounding 40 touchdowns. With 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns, he led the Tigers in rushing. He was particularly dangerous on the ground.
Daniels, a native of San Bernardino, California, where he played for Cajon High School, is 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds. He signed with the Arizona State Sun Devils first as a four-star recruit there before transferring to LSU later in his career.
