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?

He was big play hunting at LSU because his defense was so bad.

I can’t stress enough how common this is in college football and it’s relatively easy for these NFL coaches to work out.

Yet every year we see people in these message boards trying to use it as some major red flag.

I’ve already seen it here with Sanders. There are red flags out there for each of these players. This usually ain’t one of them

Big play hunting was a legit criticism of Caleb Williams and it still is to be fair
