It is unlikely that Daniels earns a paycheck at the NFL level. Good on him for getting that bag.
Hell, if he's properly invested his NIL money, he could be set to do just about anything he wants. [Reply]

I think he should transition into being part of the Hawks sports networks as an analyst of some kind.
I doubt he’d say anything overly insightful, but he’s got personality and name recognition in the program.
IF he beats KSU in our first match in the new stadium and gets a bowl W next year he’ll be able to do whatever he wants in Lawrence after graduation. [Reply]
He could try to make a go of it in the CFL (has the skillset for that kind of football) but I imagine he's gonna get more next year than a CFL team would give him. [Reply]

That’s kinda what I’m thinking.
If he has a bounce back year, then be a local celebrity in a place that loves you.
Look at what KU fans think of Jason Bean now compared to two years ago. He’d be royalty in Lawrence. [Reply]

Kinda weird how quickly the landscape has changed, though. Now, we're getting excited about announcements from current players that have decided to stay with the team and not transfer. [Reply]
Can anyone confirm this? Just read Marshall is dropping out of the Independence Bowl against Army on Decembert 28th due to portal issues. They need a 5-7 team to step in?
