D.J. Daniel might have been the most improved player in the USFL from year one to two. In the 2022 season, Daniel didn’t register any statistics.
2023 was an entirely different story for D.J. He ended up earning All-USFL honors, starting in all ten games for New Jersey. Despite the Generals struggling throughout the season, D.J. was as consistent as could be for a defense that played quite well.
D.J. Daniel finished the USFL season with 30 tackles, three interceptions, and six passes defensed. He was, without a doubt, one of the top defenders in the league, taking on some of the toughest assignments for New Jersey week in and week out.
