Jaden Daniels is perfectly fine, at least according to him.
Any concerns about the reigning Heisman Trophy winner surfaced earlier this week when NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport posted a photo of Daniels with his elbow nearly buckled.
The photo shows Daniels throwing a pass against Alabama on Nov. 4, but he has a large bulge on his right elbow that makes him look distorted. Ironically, Daniels was even treated for his injuries that night.

Users on social media joked that it was poorly edited or the work of AI.
Daniels, who was expected to be an early pick in next month’s NFL Draft, apparently sensed those concerns and silenced them.
“My elbow is perfectly fine. Stop the cap!!” Daniels wrote about Xpreviously on Twitter, with a cap and yawn emoji.

For non-Gen Z, “cap” is often an exaggeration or a lie.
Daniels threw for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and four interceptions last season. On the ground, he ran for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns. In his final three games, he threw for 1,020 yards and 13 touchdowns to win the Heisman.
He led the Tigers to a 9-3 record despite a defense that allowed the second-most yards and third-most points per game in the SEC.
There was a lot of talk about quarterbacks this NFL Draft. Caleb Williams is projected to be the No. 1 pick, but the sudden rise of JJ McCarthy has many wondering how that will affect Daniels and UNC’s Drake Maye.

The Bears, Commanders and Patriots own the first three picks, in that order, and each is expected to take a quarterback. There was a lot of talk that a team, possibly the Minnesota Vikings, could trade up for a fourth selection and also acquire a quarterback.
