“The best quarterback returning in the SEC is Jayden Daniels,” McElroy confidently stated during the podcast.
“Tell me a player that looked more comfortable in their final game of the season than the first game of the season than Jayden Daniels. And think about the progression that was made when he played against Florida State to where we saw him in the bowl game when he was completely lights out.”
