Patriots reportedly hosting dual-threat QB prospect on pre-draft visit
The Patriots are reportedly hosting Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels on a visit ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The New England Patriots are reportedly hosting Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels on a top-30 pre-draft visit, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's expected that the Patriots will be in the market to take a late-round flier on a young quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft to develop. The team released former backup Joshua Dobbs in March and elevated Tommy DeVito as the likely No.
2 veteran option for the 2026 season. With Drake Maye and DeVito topping the depth chart, New England still needs a No. 3 quarterback to build into a future backup for the team.
Could that player be Daniels? Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is on a Top 30 with the #Patriots , source said. He’s had a productive spring.
