6-2, 202 pounds | Miami | Round 6, Pick 197
Notable: Daniels played six seasons of college football, four at Liberty, one at Louisiana State and last season at Miami. During his career, he caught 198 passes for 2,996 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Last season: Daniels caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns for the Hurricanes.
Why the Rams drafted him: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are star receivers, but the Rams need another weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Daniels joins a position group that also includes Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield. The Rams traded up to pick Daniels, sending their Nos. 207, 251 and 252 picks to the Philadelphia Eagles for No. 197.
