Safety-turned-linebacker with outstanding length and athleticism but lagging behind in instincts/fundamentals. Daniels is a step slow to diagnose and flow ahead of the blocking scheme. He lacks the take-on and physicality to leverage his gap. His quickness makes him a menace in the gaps and he has good pursuit speed, but he must improve his tackling technique. He’s proficient in zone and man coverages, and he can be used to blitz or spy the quarterback. Daniels’ traits and potential could raise his profile, but he currently projects as a sub-package linebacker with special-teams value.
