The New England Patriots are reportedly hosting Jalon Daniels, a quarterback from the University of Kansas, for a top-30 pre-draft visit. The Patriots are exploring options for a young quarterback to develop in the 2026 NFL Draft, especially after releasing former backup Joshua Dobbs in March. With Tommy DeVito expected to be the No. 2 quarterback, the team is in need of a third option. Daniels, who had a productive final collegiate season throwing for 2,531 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions, also showcased his dual-threat capabilities by rushing for 404 yards and 4 touchdowns. At 23 years old, he is viewed as a potential late-round pick or undrafted free agent, fitting the profile of the type of quarterback the Patriots are currently scouting.
