The emotion that James Daniels showed when the Bears called to inform him that they were drafting the stalwart collegiate center, is the authentic Daniels you get through every interaction.
Daniels, 20, is just beginning his NFL journey. To his fortune, he gets to start it with an offensive line guru in Harry Hiestand: who can mold him into a special player. He gets to be as unique and vulnerable as possible while he works to become a cornerstone of the Bears’ offensive line. Because to be a great offensive lineman, you not only have to be individually talented and technically sound, you also have to work in tune with your teammates.
