Buccaneers signed Kansas QB Jalon Daniels.

25 April 2026

Daniels (6’1”/219) spent six years in college and started seven games as a true freshman for the Jayhawks in 2020. The dual-threat QB who amassed 1,445 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns at Kansas has an inconsistent production profile, throwing for 20-plus touchdowns just once in his career and completing only 61.5 percent of his passes. Daniels’ ability to escape defenders with his legs doesn’t make up for his inadequacies as a passer, and his accuracy and decision-making are both major question marks at the next level. Daniels benefited from a higher rate of RPO plays (20.3 percent, per TruMedia) in his final season, but he won’t benefit from those easier reads in the pros. His athleticism (4.65 40-yard dash) may warrant a further look in camp, but Daniels faces an uphill battle to make a 53-man roster.
