They got a big, fast DB on the PS. Seems the only thing he lacks is experience...(and I would bet a Harlan-like score on the Wonderlic!): Robertson Daniel, 6'1", 209 lbs....

Strengths Weaknesses

He has an impressive combination of size, length and athleticism that stands out on film, using his long arms to wrap tackle, force fumbles (three) or disrupt the catch point (26 passes defended at BYU). Daniel played mostly off-coverage in college with the thought process of a safety, but shows the skill-set to play nose-to-nose in press. He doesn't have ideal twitch or technique and is always flirting with trouble (suspended for 2014 season opener), but Daniel has the competitive chops, ballskills and toughness to be a developmental option.--Dane Brugler

Player Overview

A no-star defensive back recruit out of high school, Robertson "Rob" Daniel quit football during his senior year at Branham because of constant run-ins with the coaches. He enrolled at De Anza Junior College and spent three seasons there, developing into a FBS-level recruit. Daniel arrived at BYU as a safety, but moved to cornerback and started 22 games the last two years (field corner as a junior, boundary corner as a senior).
