Nice ESPN article on Jayden Daniels

That was excellent. Would love to see some more of those as the Heisman talk picks up!

Daniels went back in the game. Four plays later, he threw a strike to Malik Nabers for a 35-yard reception. Every little movement stung, though he tried not to let it show. Throwing the football, he said, "hurt a lot."
But on third-and-3, Daniels took one step backward, planted his back leg on the Missouri 40-yard line and took off. Bruised ribs and aching hand be damned, he knifed through the front seven, past a hapless linebacker, past a sprinting safety and ran untouched until he was tackled while falling into the end zone to give LSU its first lead of the game.
"I could feel the pain in the moment," Daniels recalled, "but I had to help my team win."

Nabers admitted he got frustrated with Daniels' careful nature as well. The team's No. 1 receiver recalled another practice this summer when he couldn't get Daniels to look his way.
"Bro," Nabers told Daniels, "just throw it up."
Daniels told Nabers he wasn't open, and he wasn't technically wrong. Nabers was garnering a lot of double coverage.
"I don't care. Just throw it up," Nabers told him. "They look like they're beside me, but I'm getting past them."
Love that quote. Nabers is a dog.
Ohh and this one. More dog.
quote:
"I don't know what he's been throughout his life, but when you come to Louisiana, we're different," Nabers said. "When we play football, we don't care. We don't care if we got a bump or bruise. We don't care if we got a hurt ankle, we're going to get back up and we still keep going. So I think that he found his Louisiana way. That's him showing that, 'I'm from Cali, but I'm in The Boot now.'"

Nabers sat in the corner of LSU's indoor facility last week, looked out on the practice field and reminisced. Because Daniels joined the team so late last year -- the day before spring practice -- and he wasn't named the starting quarterback until September, Nabers said they didn't have the time they needed to get on the same page. But this offseason was different.
They spent so many early mornings out here, Nabers said, running through the entire route tree. Countless reps. Countless conversations. Daniels and his receivers learned about one another over the course of months -- on the field and off it. And the result was a combination of chemistry and trust that's paying off today.
But there was another piece that went into Daniels' transformation this season. Rarely does a quarterback go from being timid to decisive.
Preparation, Daniels said, has been the key.

Kelly paused for a moment when asked whether Daniels is making more money now than he would have as a rookie in the NFL.
"Yes," he said.
Damn.

Didn’t expect this article to be this detailed
Nice piece

What is funny there is the pic at the top of the article. That was Roman Harper and Cole Cubelic Monday night running a feature on their show on how can Alabama slow down (not stop) Jayden Daniels and this LSU offense. Harper went into great detail with film.
The irony here is that Bama is the Vegas favorite in the game but the media does not know how the will do it...

Apparently Kelly drives a Tesla. Don't let the OT know
