The Los Angeles Rams drafted wide receiver CJ Daniels in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft last week from the Miami Hurricanes.
Daniels joins a wide receiver room that features some of the best receivers in the league, with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
The former Hurricane also joins a team that has aspirations of getting back to the Super Bowl after falling short to the eventual Super Bowl champions the past two seasons.
For Daniels, however, playing alongside veteran wide receiver Davante Adams might be the most exciting part about being selected by Los Angeles.
"Davante is someone that I've always looked up to, he's a guy that I've always modeled my game after, my releases, how he plays the game of football," Daniels declared.
The latest Ram also admitted to watching plenty of Puka Nacua tape.

"I saw he was a fifth-round draft pick. I saw everything he was capable of doing, whether it was in the run game or pass game. He's just a very dynamic player," Daniels added.
Bringing in Daniels makes the battle for WR3 for Los Angeles interesting, as he will be competing with the likes of Jordan Whittington and Konata Mupfield.
Daniels can easily make his mark in the early stages of training camp and later on in the summer when the preseason begins in August.
However, if it takes Daniels longer to get onto the field, he has shown throughout his collegiate career that he is not afraid to take the difficult path.
Daniels played four seasons for Liberty University before transferring to LSU for a season and ultimately finishing his career at Miami, where he helped the Hurricanes reach the national title game, while hauling in 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games in 2025.
