The Heisman Trophy Trust produces 2 physical trophies each year — one for the player who won the award and one for the university that the player represented.
Daniels enjoyed a historic season at LSU en route to winning the Heisman. He threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns (which led the country) while also rushing for 1,134 yards and 10 more scores on the ground. As a passer, Daniels also paced all other quarterbacks by throwing for 11.7 yards per attempt.
Daniels went on to become the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He’s off to a solid start through 2 games with the Washington Commanders. Daniels will make his Monday Night Football debut this week in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
