Originally posted on Men's Journal | By Adam Schultz | Last updated Apr 1, 2024 12:00 PM ET

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has been making headlines over the last couple of months due to him being touted as a high draft pick. But over the last couple of days, Daniels has been making headlines, but not for his football play, but rather an odd picture that has been seen on social media.

A picture surfaced via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's X account as he posted that Daniels had meetings with teams striaght after his Pro Day. But fans quickly saw the picture of Daniels' elbow as it looked far from normal.

Of course, social media then went into overdrive with fans speculating exactly what it could be and others even used it as a reason for their team to not draft the LSU star.

With no explantation as to why Daniels' elbow looked like that in the picture, we now have clarity from the man himself.

Daniels took to X and assured his fans and other NFL followers that despite the odd-looking picture that had been doing the rounds on social media, his elbow was indeed fine.

So that puts a full stop to any nonsense that fans thought was going on with Daniels' elbow as there was real concern about his ability to throw the football.

We aren't sure of exactly what happened to Daniels' elbow in the picture or if it was AI-generated, but it did look odd, and speculation spread like wildfire.

Luckily though, Daniels has allayed any fears over his elbow and has assured the NFL community that there isn't anything wrong with his throwing arm.
