10 Burning Questions with Jayden Daniels

I'm Janie Daniels and this is 10 burning Questions with Sports Illustrated. My favorite player as a kid was Michael Vick because I played with him on Madden and he had 100 speeds, so, uh, being able to run around, so that, that was why he's my favorite player. Hopefully, uh, I have some hardwood. I'm able to hoist that Lombardi Trophy, um, hopefully I impact the kids and the community around me and my community back home. Selfishly, I, I feel like if I, you know, worked as hard as I did in football, I, I feel like I could go pro in basketball. My number one favorite hobby is is video games. Um, it was another way to connect with not only teammates but with old friends that you know you don't get to see each and every day. Matta was number one. Call of Duty, Fortnite was a big one for me, but 2K is taking back over. My go to pregame meal, um, is spaghetti and meatballs. Uh, I don't like to eat a lot, but I have to eat something, so that, that's my go to pregame meal. Yeah, uh, I have been starstruck, you know, I was able to meet LeBron James, so when I met him, that, that was kind of like a star struck moment for me. My favorite NFL team growing up was the San Francisco Forty-Niners. My grandpa was a Forty-Niners fan. Then my dad was a big one, so I kind of just, you know, kinda got thrust into it. But it's most definitely important, uh, you know, if you look good, you, you play good, you know, if you feel good, then you feel like, you know, that you have the, the swag, you have the drip going on. If you feel like a million bucks, hopefully you play like a million bucks. Uh, what, how's the quarterback go? I used to play fantasy football. I hopefully I can go top 5 rounds in fantasy football. Hopefully somebody takes a chance on me. My number one biggest goal outside of football is, um, be able to better my community back home in San Bernardino. I wanna have my own training facility out there and just be able to branch off and and do different things. When kids look up to me, I wanna be an inspiration. Hopefully I want them to be better than me. Hopefully I get the inspiration of and one day I wanna win a Heisman or, uh, if I do something in the community, then one day I wanna get back to my community just like Jay.
