The most significant concern ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft was how the quarterbacks would slot in after Caleb Williams. Was is the appropriate tense here, due to the fact that now all anybody can discuss is what the hell is up with Jayden Daniels’ elbow, which appears like a style from a declined action figure.
Everything comes from an Ian Rapoport tweet, with an image that’s difficult to parse.
Daniels’ arm appears like it’s made from moulded plastic. Absolutely nothing links in a manner that looks natural. His elbow has an underbite, like the swollen jaw of a xenomorph in AlienThis has actually triggered a great deal of individuals to question if something is incorrect, and there’s no scarcity of confirmed “physicians” spending for Twitter who are providing complete medical diagnoses based off one image.
The fact is: This is simply an actually strange image. It occurs. This was taken throughout the November 4 video game in between LSU and Alabama in 2023. While Daniels absolutely has a noticable and pointy elbow, there are lots of images of him including that video game and his arm looks completely regular.

In some cases pictures of professional athletes in movement can simply look … unusual. It does not imply that there’s something incorrect, or a huge warning– muscles can line up in unusual methods and when photographed at the correct time, from the ideal angle all of us can appear like aliens.
If you’re all of a sudden worried about Jayden Daniels based off one image: Don’t be. There are many layers of checks and balances in pre-draft medical and physical checks that if there was in fact a warning the whole league would learn about it. It’s not like his arm is going to fall off in 3 months even if it appears like it’s held together with bubble gum.
We can simply value how odd this picture looks, and absolutely nothing more.
