Jalon Daniels has brought Kansas football back.
The Jayhawks are a revitalized program in part because of their star quarterback.
Sounds a bit familiar to a guy with a very similar name.
Jayden Daniels has brought life back to the Washington Commanders at the QB position.
Same guy? Not quite.
Is Jalon Daniels related to Jayden Daniels?
No, Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is not related to Commanders superstar Jayden Daniels.
Jalon did know about Jayden even when the Kansas quarterback was still in high school.
“I type in J-A-L-O-N Daniels in Google,” Daniels told The Athletic, “and Jayden Daniels came up, and I thought, ‘Well, I will be able to fill up this page one day.’”
Jalon is on his way to doing that.
Maybe someday we can get an NFL matchup between Jalon and Jayden Daniels.
