Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Daniels is a game-changer at the quarterback position and will be taken in the top three of the draft.

However, this statement contradicts itself as it implies that he has already been selected before even being evaluated by all 32 teams present at his Pro Day. Thirdly, LSU coach Brian Kelly claims that Daniels' size is a question mark for NFL decision-makers despite him having taken some big hits and recording an NCAA record the next week after getting knocked out of the game against Alabama due to a concussion. This statement contradicts itself as it implies that his size is not suitable for playing in the NFL, yet he has already recorded an NCAA record.
