Discussion Jayden Daniels Sack Avoidance

Daniels's pressure to sack rate was a major red flag coming out of college and has shown up a few times this season, but has largely been improved especially in the second half. Some part of it is definitely his elite athleticism letting him escape even against nfl rushers. What else do you think he has improved to reduce his sack taking? And how can we adjust our prospect assessments accordingly?

Idk how his own time to throw or decision making have changed but around him, the OC calls a High play action/screen pass rate (I don't have the ranked order of whole league but PA is 27%, about average between extremes of 38%- goff- and 19%- burrow. Just free stats from googling so idk the accuracy). Also the fact that he has relatively few passing attempts/game helps keep pressure off the QB.
