Daniels has primarily worked with the backup quarterbacks throughout camp, but McVay praised Daniels earlier this summer and said Daniels is someone he's excited to see, especially when preseason games arrive. Daniels was praised for his sticky hands in college and has been a sponge so far during the offseason, both in OTAs and training camp.
"He's mature for a rookie," McVay said on July 27. "You can see he's come in no-nonsense mentality, but he enjoys football. And he's really a great listener. ... I'm excited about CJ, and he'll be another guy, when you talk about the importance of the preseason, he'll be a guy I'm looking forward to watching play."
Wide receiver Davante Adams noted his eagerness for advice after a conversation they had around OTAs. And the preseason game against the Chiefs will be a great place to turn the advice into result on the field against another opponent.
