Kansas QB Jalon Daniels Pulls Up To Big 12 Media Days Iced Out With Expensive Chain That Plays His Video Highlights

The NIL era of college football has led to a lot of wild moments over the past two years, and Jalon Daniels' Big 12 Media Days drip sits near the top. Kansas' starting quarterback pulled up to Arlington, Texas with some serious bling around his neck.

Media days, no matter the conference, have always served as an opportunity for players to show off their style and flex their finest 'fits. That notion has only become more true since July 1, 2021, when the NCAA passed its "interim" guidelines on Name, Image and Likeness.

Athletes can get paid, legally, while still in college.

With that being true, the most important players to a particular program are making the most money. The most important players are also the ones who are going to represent their program at media days.

And in 99% of situations, barring a training camp competition or something of that nature, the most important player in college football — who represents the program at media days and receives the largest compensation package — is the quarterback. Duh.

This all goes to say that media days offer quarterbacks the chance to flex some of their NIL bag.

Jalon Daniels, who led Kansas to its first bowl game since 2008 last season, did exactly that. The rising senior arrived at AT&T Stadium wearing an expensive, diamond-encrusted cuban link chain over his satin suit and tie.

The chain alone would have been cool, but Daniels took it to the next level. At the end of the chain hung a video screen pendant that played his highlights on repeat.

Seriously. Check it out:

Daniels, a former three-star recruit, did not get the love that he deserved out of high school. Now, three years later, he is reminding everyone that he is him!

The cuban link chain playing Daniels' own highlights is a nice touch that will not soon be forgotten in Big 12 Media Day lore.
