“I don’t like when people try to compare me to Lamar,” Daniels said.

“We’re two different players. I want to be known as Jaden Daniels, not the next so-and-so.”

Daniel wants to be his own man, but don’t take this as any kind of disrespect towards Jackson.

“I love to see a good quarterback play,” Daniels said. “I’m a fan of his and how he plays the game, how he sees the game.

“But we’re two different quarterbacks, two different styles. I appreciate what he’s done for the game and what he’s done for African American quarterbacks.”

Jackson is a unique talent, so it’s unfair to compare Daniels to a player who has only played five games in his career.

Despite the positives, Daniels made it clear that he doesn’t want comparisons.

And Jackson agrees.

“I agree,” Jackson said. “(Daniel) is his own player at the end of the day, he’s his own man. We’re just trying to make a name for ourselves, not for anyone else, so I’m okay with that – definitely.’

That doesn’t mean Jackson isn’t impressed by what he’s seen of the former LSU star so far, because he is impressed.

Jackson even said that if he had a Heisman vote, Daniels would take his vote.

“He’s doing the same things we saw in college – which got him the Heisman. No doubt about it,” Jackson said. “I don’t really watch a lot of college games, but when I saw (Daniels) play, he was doing an amazing job. That’s why he got my Heisman vote.”
