The Breakdown
McDaniel is a hard hitting safety that loves to play in the box. He’s at his best against the run and isn’t afraid of contact, even against bigger backs. Athletic and relatively rangy for his size, he also makes his fair share of plays in coverage. McDaniel could be a terror in the ACC for wide receivers this season…especially when trying to work the middle of the field.
