Herm Edwards Reacts To Jayden Daniels Winning The Heisman Trophy

While his time at Arizona State didn’t end great, Edwards was happy to see Daniels thriving.

“It’s been fun watching Jayden mature as a young man as well as a quarterback, and now he has won the highest award that you can win in college football”

Daniels’s rise was a great story. He wasn’t great at Arizona State as he had five more total touchdowns in 2023 than he had in the three years with the Sun Devils. Sometimes players need more development or a change of scenery in order to thrive. This was the case for the LSU quarterback who had a career season.

Will Daniels Be A Top NFL Prospect?

The consensus seems to be that Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are the two prospects. However, there is a lot of time for things to change. Last season, Anthony Richardson wasn’t slated to be a top pick until he dominated the NFL Combine. He then shot up draft boards before going fourth overall to the Colts. I could see Daniels having a similar rise if he has a good lead-up to the draft process.

It was great to see Daniels get rewarded for his hard work. He has improved drastically and had an amazing season for LSU.
