On Wednesday, the NFL world convened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for LSU’s pro day ahead of the 2024 NFL draft.
The Tigers should have three first-round picks in next month’s draft, all on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Jayden Daniels could go as high as No. 2 overall to the Washington Commanders, while wide receiver Malik Nabers could go as high as No. 4.
Fellow wide receiver Brian Thomas should land somewhere among the top 20.
Of course, the focus was primarily on Daniels, who worked out for NFL scouts and coaches. All of the teams in search of a quarterback were in attendance, including the Commanders’ brass.
Washington’s general manager Adam Peters, head coach Dan Quinn, and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury represented the team. After Daniels’ workout, Washington was one of the teams scheduled to meet with the Heisman Trophy winner.
Kingsbury was spending time with Daniels’ QB coach at pro day.

Meanwhile, Peters, like he did at Caleb Williams’ pro day at USC, stepped up to “dap” Daniels.
