Jayden Daniels is headed back into the spotlight, this time with Netflix cameras rolling.
The former LSU quarterback will be one of four signal callers featured in the third season of Netflix’s sports documentary series "Quarterback," according to the trailer the streamer released. Daniels joins Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans, and Joe Flacco, who started 2025 with the Cleveland Browns before being traded midway through the season to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Daniels’ 2025 season will be a central part of the series, and it comes after a much rougher year than the one that made him a star in the first place. The 2023 Heisman trophy winner at LSU and the No. 2 overall pick by the Washington Commanders followed up his 2024 breakthrough by missing 10 games last season because of a string of injuries.
His year started to unravel in a Week 2 loss against Green Bay, when he sprained his knee and sat out the next two games. A month later, he strained his hamstring in a Week 7 loss at Dallas, which kept him out of Washington’s Monday Night road game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The worst blow came in his return. In a Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, Daniels dislocated his left elbow and missed Washington’s next five games.
He made it back for a Week 14 game against Minnesota, but he left early after aggravating the elbow injury. Washington was shut out 31-0 by the Vikings in Daniels’ final appearance, and the Commanders finished 5-12.
The series also marks the second time an LSU quarterback has been featured on "Quarterback." Joe Burrow appeared in Season 2 alongside Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins.

LSU Just Missed On A Four-Star Lineman It Really Wanted
LSU spent part of its 2027 recruiting push chasing one of the better offensive line prospects in the cycle, but the Tigers came up short as the class began to take shape. The player at the center of the miss is entering his senior year at Archbishop Moeller in Cincinnati after building a national profile and drawing attention from several Power Four programs.
His decision leaves LSU still looking for another headliner in the trenches, even after taking official visits across a group that included the Tigers and several other finalists. The good news for Brian Kellys program is that the 2027 class remains in strong position overall, with the Tigers still holding a spot near the top of the national rankings and enough early talent in place to keep momentum going.

Lane Kiffin Already Turned LSU Into The SECs Biggest Target
Lane Kiffins arrival in Baton Rouge has already changed the temperature around LSU, and not just inside the program. After Brian Kellys departure, the Tigers moved quickly to remake the roster, landing a top transfer portal class that included former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt. The talent upgrade gives LSU a different look entering the season, but it has also made the Tigers a bigger talking point across the SEC.
A lot of the edge around LSU right now traces back to Kiffin himself, with his move from Ole Miss still lingering in the background as conference rivals size up the Tigers. The schedule will give everyone a measuring stick soon enough, and the trip to Ole Miss looms as a major one for both teams. For LSU, it is the kind of game that can sharpen the early perception of Kiffins new era almost immediately. [Read more 🡒]
Lafayette Christian Faces One Defining Question After Crushing Finish
Lafayette Christian Academys season ended one snap shy of the ultimate prize, and the sting of that 49-47 semifinal loss will linger as the program turns the page toward 2026. Even so, the roster coming back gives the Knights a real foundation, with junior running back Caiden Bellard and senior defensive back Sky Ryan among the most important pieces expected to shape what comes next.
The biggest question sits at quarterback, where the staff is sorting through options as it prepares for a new season. There is plenty to like about the rest of the depth chart, but how that job settles will go a long way toward determining whether Lafayette Christian can convert last years heartbreak into another deep run.
