Berry, a Washington Commanders fan, said rookie Jayden Daniels is a quarterback who is sure to be selected in the draft.
“His rushing strength is he had 2,000 rushing yards his final two years at LSU. [offensive coordinator] “Kliff Kingsbury was a top 10 fantasy quarterback his rookie year under Kingsbury when they got Kyler Murray as a rookie. I think Jayden Daniels will be somewhere between the 12th and 15th QB. I have him as the No. 8 QB. I think Jayden Daniels is going to have a great year,” Berry told Fox News Digital about the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.

Berry now adds another veteran to the list of players he needs to avoid.
“I’ve not been a fan of Justin Herbert this year,” Berry said.
Berry said Herbert’s Los Angeles Chargers receiving corps is “depleted” without Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and that new head coach Jim Harbaugh will be looking to ramp up the run attack.
“[Harbaugh-led teams] “Herbert is always in the bottom five in pass attempts and top five in rush attempts, so I’m not going to buy too much stock in him this year,” Berry said.
