NFL Analyst Says West Coast Team Is 'Eyeing' Jayden Daniels

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels could likely be an early pick in the upcoming draft, but it's not just the top teams that are interested in the Heisman winner.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Las Vegas Raiders could be a team that tries to trade up from pick No. 13 to get Daniels early. Per On3:

“Well the QBs, they’re getting ready to throw in Indianapolis and the Raiders will be watching closely and there’s a feeling that Jayden Daniels, the LSU Heisman Trophy winner, has the eye of Raiders coach Antonio Pierce,” Fowler said on SportsCenter Sunday morning. “Because they have a strong connection from their Arizona State days and Pierce was an assistant there.

“But we’ll see if they can move up but they’re picking 13th, that’d be a huge jump to try to get into the top three. You know, talking to people around the league they make note that the Raiders tried to get up even as high as No. 1 last year trying to get CJ Stroud or Bryce Young. Couldn’t do it … Maybe this is the year they finally make the jump.”
