Top 2024 NFL Draft prospect Jayden Daniels' elbow is freaking the internet out
As we approach the 2024 NFL draft, the top prospects are being scrutinized online by thousands of eyes. Every throw they've made in college, every DoorDash order they put in, every tweet they wrote more than 10 years ago is being looked at thoroughly by every NFL analyst in America in order to ensure that they can succeed at the next level.
Much like Icarus though, sometimes they delve into a player's history flies too close to the sun and we find something we never wanted to find.
Most of the time it's just strange tweets from the minds of 12-year-olds, as was the case with Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky. However, other times we find images that shatter our very being and make us, the casual fan, go "What in the world am I looking at?"
That's exactly what's happening with Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels right now.

JUMPIN' JELLYFISH BATMAN! What in the world could that be?
Obviously, the human body is a gross cesspool of strange phenomena when looked at closely, but this is enough to turn stomachs and heads alike. Here are some of the best reactions to...whatever this is.

When was Jayden Daniels' pro day?
Daniels' pro day took place on March 27. The photo of Daniels had already gone viral by the time his workout started, and ironically, Daniels chose to wear a long sleeve shirt while throwing.

The validity of this tweet has not been confirmed. It's very likely that Daniels' elbow has always looked like this, which means NFL scouts likely already knew about any issue before the image went viral. If anything, this would not affect his build/frame though, this would affect his durability and technique.
Daniels is still expected to be picked within the top-three selections of the upcoming NFL draft.
