Former Husker Daniels had options as undrafted free agent, opted to join 'crazy' 49ers DL group

Darrion Daniels could have let stress and anxiety take over, but instead found himself in a state of calm on Saturday as the final four rounds of the NFL Draft rolled by.

Daniels, the former Nebraska defensive tackle, did not hear his name called, but he did spend the better part of the afternoon sorting through myriad options.

“I was pretty relaxed. I knew I was really confident that by the end of the day I was going to be on a team somewhere, so I was grateful,” he told the Journal Star in a phone interview from Texas this week.
