Scouting Report

Miami · 2026 draft class

CJ Daniels is a crafty, alignment-versatile receiver who has produced at every stop in his college journey. The 6'1", 195-pound wideout emerged at Liberty with a breakout 2023 campaign of 1,067 yards and 10 touchdowns on an impressive 19.4 yards per catch. After transferring to LSU for 2024 (42-480), he now stars at Miami as the veteran go-to option for Carson Beck with 37 receptions for 420 yards and 7 touchdowns. Daniels fits the versatile 'Z' role in an NFL offense and can serve as a second, third, or fourth option. He's a field stretcher with in-depth understanding of attacking and manipulating defensive backs, showing a strong feel for blind spots and leverage. He combines that knowledge with impressively late, reliable hands, offering the complete package as a downfield threat. Throughout his career, Daniels has made impact from various alignments, which should translate seamlessly to the NFL.
