LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels says his elbow is ‘perfectly fine’

During LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels’ pro day this week in Baton Rouge, a disturbing image emerged concerning his throwing elbow. It all began with a post from NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Remember, this is not an image from his pro day, but sometime last season. He happened to pass for 40 touchdowns and ran for 10 more last season when he won the Heisman Trophy.

So, what is going on with Daniels’ elbow? The image shows some type of growth on his elbow.

A doctor responded to the viral photo and said it appeared that Daniels was dealing with olecranon bursitis in his elbow. He said it is very common and more annoying than concerning.

Here’s the full tweet from the doctor:

Daniels, who is set to be a top-five pick in the 2024 NFL draft, perhaps as high as No. 2 to the Washington Commanders, apparently had enough of the photo and responded that it was essentially much ado about nothing.

There we have it. The man has spoken, and his elbow is fine. NFL teams have not shown any concerns regarding Daniels’ health.
