Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is set to make his first NFL start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Green Bay Packers after Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb. Daniels beat out Jake Browning for the backup job and hopes to spark an 0-3 Buccaneers offense. He shared that Mayfield advised him to stay composed, and he views his role as a leader who must set the emotional temperature of the room, drawing on his extensive collegiate experience at Kansas.
