Bio
NAME PRONUNCIATION
Get to Know Daniel ...
What is the significance behind your jersey number?- I picked number nine after one of my favorite artists and it was also my senior year high school baseball jersey.
At what age did you start playing football and how did you get into football?
- I started playing at four years old because I followed after all my cousins.Â
- I don't model my game for anyone but my favorite player was Ed Reed and Cam Newton.
