Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Dorian Thompson-Robinson
Summary
Jalon Daniels is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback who served as the catalyst for the Kansas football resurgence. A resilient leader with a strong arm, he excels at creating plays outside of structure and attacking the intermediate levels of the field with anticipation. While his athleticism allows him to stress defenses as a runner, he is a rotational depth candidate who must improve his ball security and decision-making to stick at the professional level.

Buccaneers' Jalon Daniels: Heads to Tampa
Daniels signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent Friday.
A six-year player at Kansas, Daniels finished the 2025 season by completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 2,531 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 404 yards (3.5 YPC) and four touchdowns on the ground. He has decent mobility with a 4.65 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but he needs to tidy up his work as a passer to have a shot in the NFL. Daniels will battle against Connor Bazelak for the No. 3 QB job behind Baker Mayfield and Jake Browning.
