Analysis:

Daniels and Nabers are two of the most exciting players in college football. Daniels has the potential to be a star quarterback in the SEC, and Nabers is a big-play receiver who can take over games. If LSU can get its defense to play up to its potential, it could be a dangerous team in 2023.

Daniels is a dual-threat quarterback who is dangerous both running and passing. He has a strong arm and he is also a good runner. He is a threat to take off and run for a touchdown every time he touches the ball.

Nabers is a big-play receiver who can make plays after the catch. He has good speed and he is also a good route runner. He is a threat to take any catch to the house.

If Daniels and Nabers can stay healthy and play at a high level, they could be two of the most important players in LSU's offense. They have the potential to lead the Tigers to a big season in 2023.
