LSU has brought in consultants to help Daniels with his decision regarding going pro

Something tells me the NIL deal he just signed has some nice incentives to staying around for 2023.

Now I doubt it would compete with rookie NFL money, but just enough to try and win a natty by staying here and potentially massively increasing his draft position.

I know a lot of our fans loved hating on JD but to me he seems to have more of an upside than Young...but I am no scout

This is stuff we never did under Miles and Orgeron I feel. Plus, you have a trust in the system that if you come back you will develop and accomplish great things. But it's a pretty easy calculation at the end of the day. If you think you are a first round talent, coming back to play to that versus leaving and potentially being drafted in round 3 or later will net you millions.

Not just for Daniels
For several players facing that decision

Brooks has another year due to covid and is likely returning

Daniels season this year is very reminiscent of Joe Burrows 2018 year. He started doing a lot better the second half of the year, could have probably been drafted in the middle to late rounds of the draft. He ended up staying and the rest is history.

Consultants AKA guys we paid to tell him to come back for another year lol

Anyone remember Trev Faulk years ago making a terrible decision when he left early?

Gordon said his deals are 2-3 months.

Really smart if the school wants him to have a neutral third party

There really are no neutral third parties in a contracted situation. Someone pays for the service and the contractor is influenced to some degree trying to please that party. I think it’s a good move and good for the kid, but the advice probably differs a little based on who pays the bill.

Im hopelessly biased but he should look at joe burrow.
