Two former Huskers sign undrafted free agent deals in NFL
Lamar Jackson signed a deal with the New York Jets while Darrion Daniels did the same with the San Francisco 49ers.
Lamar Jackson and Darrion Daniels might not have been selected in the NFL Draft, but they still found their way onto NFL teams.
Jackson signed a undrafted free agent deal with the New York Jets while Daniels did the same with the San Francisco 49ers.
A second-team All-Big Ten selection, Jackson started every game in his final season and filled up the stat sheet with career highs of 40 tackles, four TFLs, 1.0 sack, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, three interceptions and 12 pass breakups.
One year in Lincoln was enough to catapult Daniels into the NFL.
The Oklahoma State grad transfer made an immediate impact in his lone season with the Huskers.
Named a team captain in the preseason, he totaled a career-high 34 tackles on the season, with four tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and his first career interception.
Daniels is the older brother of current Husker defensive lineman Damion Daniels.
