Jayden Daniels looks back in his life and I how he got to where he is now

Looks like he had special relationship with Sherman Wilson
“Every day I would think, Did I do enough today to be where I want to be in a couple of years? How can I get better on the little details and take my game to another level? At LSU, I learned how to train like a pro. Preparing as a pro is having consistency in your routine. I wake up at five, watch film at the facility for 45 minutes to an hour, go back home, eat, take a nap if necessary, come back up, take care of my body, and get ready for practice. Eat lunch, go to meetings, extra reps after practice, treatment, watch practice film. You get the idea. And you also have to build in quality time to hang out with your teammates so that you can connect. It’s fully adopting the mentality of first one in, last one out. And that’s something that I embodied this past year.
Sherm.
I owe a huge part of my growth this past season to Sherman Wilson. He works with the team. He’s like a mentor, but also a friend and a brother. This past year he challenged me, and I challenged him. We had that kind of relationship that you build with somebody you really trust, where you guys can challenge each other without feeling any disrespect. He pushed me in my routine. When I’d get up at five o’clock in the morning to watch film, he used to be out there with me. There would be times where we’d be kind of racing to see who could get to the film room first. Bringing that competitive juice to 5 a.m. helped get my game to the next level. And it paid off.“

Just goes to show you how important every piece is to the puzzle. Had no idea who Sherwin Wilson was until just now

Goes to show just how important these behind the scenes people are. Austin Thomas and Sherm are quietly building a monster rn

LSU was a long way from home.
I remember this day, in the middle of June. We were working out. It’s humid, I’m sweating, go home, take a shower. I didn’t have nothing to do for the rest of the day.
So I took a nap, and when I woke up it was pouring rain, lightning, thunder. I’m like, Man, what is going on?? I’m so confused. I’m like, Is it a hurricane coming?
I’m calling my mom, I’m calling people like, “Bro, is this normal?” They were like, “Nah, this is normal.”
I was in my head like, I can’t be playing outside in no hurricane….
typical Louisiana summer day baw

My grandpa was there every step of the way, for 20 years of my life. He was the one who always picked me up from school and took me to practice. We’d always be laughing and cracking jokes. He was like my best friend. About three years ago, I went through the hardest thing I’ve ever been through when he passed away. Then my grandma passed just two weeks later. Man, that broke my heart in ways you can’t imagine. You think grandparents will live forever. But moving through that grief, as hard as it was, taught me something important. It opened up my perspective on life. I learned that you really gotta love the ones that love you, because you never know when that time might be up. I never want to be that person wishing I would’ve told the people I care about how much they really matter.
Maturity, humility, love and respect.
That kid Jayden.

Not the most efficient, but it definitely worked for him.

Not one mention of going to class, cracking a book, studying for an exam.
Way to go LSU and JD.

Just goes to show you can have all the physical ability in the world but if you don't take the time and realize to be elite you have to put the work in to play at the next level. LSU has elite players in the NFL because they put the work in. Burrow, OBJ, Jefferson, Peterson and now Daniels. LSU puts out studs and the NFL knows it. GEAUXTIGERS

..coming from Arizona/California where a thunderstorm is usually a sign of the apocalypse.

Read the whole thing. Amazing guy. Good heart. Will be rooting hard for him wherever he ends up...hopefully in Wash, DC.

I'm glad the people in my life taught me how to be a man. Not only a man, but a White man.

He was a Graduate Transfer Boss!

I really hope he lands in a good NFL spot - he deserves it...
