The star of the LSU Tigers doesn’t seem too hopeful about the possibility of playing with Malik Nabers again. With the Draft only 2 days away now, the conversations about Jayden Daniels’ future have never been more important.

Both Nabers and Daniels took center stage at LSU’s Pro Day recently and got the interest of teams like the Patriots and the Giants piqued heavily.

Moreover, the duo has played together since the 2022 season and now will be parting ways as they step into the NFL, and the QB has made his peace with the reality.

The New England Patriots are in a tough spot since they will have to decide about their number 3 pick, as Jayden Daniels is expected to be either a second or a third pick, right behind either Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy. However, it doesn’t look like the Patriots have to worry about Daniels being drafted by the Commanders at number 2 since most of the draft projections put him at number 3, right in the mouths of Jerod Mayo’s team.

As the doorway to the NFL draws closer for the LSU QB, here’s what he’s most excited to do when he enters the bigger league. Daniels revealed, “I’d say, kinda just everything. I mean, I would say, my ability to make play outside of the pocket. But really everything. How can I expand the knowledge of my game? How can I go out there and look for different ways on how I can lead? Just figuring out ways to do that but I’m just excited to get into the league, live out my dream, and be able to be successful in the future.
