Does LSU head coach Brian Kelly know something that we don’t?
While the Washington Commanders are considered the favorites to draft Heisman Trophy-winning LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick, it is definitely no lock.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Commanders are currently -135 to draft Daniels with the New England Patriots following at +160.
However, that didn’t stop Kelly from basically saying that the Commanders are going to draft Daniels.
“He’s gonna get the ball out to his playmakers and make plays for Washington”
Rumors have been circulating that the Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders are both “desperate” to move up and draft Jayden Daniels, but that doesn’t seem to phase Kelly.
In 2023 with Kelly as his head coach, Daniels won the Heisman Trophy with just over 3,800 passing yards and 40 passing touchdowns to go along with 1,134 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.
As for Kelly, he will be entering his third season as head coach for the LSU Tigers and has a record of 20-7 in his two seasons.
