Top QB prospect Jayden Daniels has fans worried ahead of the NFL draft.
On Wednesday, the reigning Heisman trophy winner worked out in front of scouts and met with the media for his pro day at LSU.
On social media, fans began noticing Daniels’ elbow looked a bit weird in old pictures depicting his throwing motion and were concerned about his condition leading up to the draft.
While Daniels’ elbow looks pretty nasty, fans and teams shouldn’t be worried about drafting him.
According to sports doctor Jesse Morse, Daniels is suffering from bursitis of his right throwing elbow, which is a mild condition.
“Daniels appears to be dealing with operation bursitis of his right throwing elbow. This is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a sac that is usually empty and is there to protect the bone underneath. We have them in several joints including the elbow and the knee.
‘Banging’ your elbow against a hard surface often results in inflammation of the bursa, causing the body to fill it with fluid. This is a protective mechanism to prevent fracturing the bone underneath.
These are VERY common, and more annoying than concerning. As long as they are not infected.”
Another sports doctor confirmed the bursitis diagnosis.
“A lot of talk about Jayden Daniels elbow here. Just a simple case of olecranon bursitis. Looks like it first happened in 10/2022 and even when drained they can come back. More of a cosmetic thing as long as it’s not infected. Won’t effect him at all #LSU #NFLDraft”
