Former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has refuted rumors suggesting that his camp is opposed to him joining the New England Patriots. The speculation, initially raised by NBC Sports Boston reporter Phil Perry, insinuated concerns about Daniels’ adaptation to playing conditions in New England and a preference from individuals close to him for him not to end up in the Northeast. Responding to a post on X, Daniels used an emoji of a cap, indicating disbelief, in reaction to the report from football news aggregator JPAFootball.
Projected as a top-10 pick in the upcoming April draft, Daniels is sought after by the Patriots, who are in search of a franchise quarterback and hold the No. 3 overall pick. Denise White, Daniels’ agent, also addressed the rumor on X, stating that it was inaccurate and emphasizing Daniels’ readiness to embrace any team in the NFL.
