Favorite quote: “Fear not, for I am with you.” Since high school, has
worn a cross necklace with that Bible verse engraved on its back
“
I see the leadership ability that he
has on and off the football field. I see
how well he interacts with the football
players. I see what he’s done, not
only in practice, but in limited game
situations...His confidence level is
extremely high. It’s hard to explain
unless you’ve been around someone for
three years like I have. You have that
trust and confidence in that individual.
That’s the level of trust that I have in
Chase Daniel and the confidence that I
have in him.
”
-Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson
An eight-year NFL veteran, Chase Daniel signed
with the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent in the
2016 offseason after spending the previous three
seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. In Kansas City,
Daniel worked closely with then-Chiefs offensive
coordinator and current Eagles head coach Doug
Pederson. A three-year starter at the University of
Missouri, Daniel ranks as the school’s all-time leader
in passing yards (12,515), completions (1,094) and
touchdown passes (101) and was named a Heisman
Trophy finalist as a junior in 2007.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Drew Brees and won a Super Bowl in 2009
BIRDSEED
• In 2014 and 2015, Daniel and his wife, Hillary, partnered
with Make A Wish Missouri to host the Kansas
City Night of Wishes at Arrowhead Stadium. The
2014 event raised more
than $140,000 and
helped grant the wishes
of 29 children, while proceeds from the 2015 event
helped grant wishes for roughly 40 local children
battling life-threatening medical conditions
• A business finance major, Daniel won a postgraduate
scholarship after being named a National
Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete. Through
Missouri’s business school, he had the opportunity
to meet Warren Buffett in 2008
THREE OF A KIND

Orleans, Daniel served
as the Saints’ primary
holder on field goals and
extra points. For two seasons,
he teamed up with
former Southlake (TX)
High School teammates
LS Justin Drescher and K
Garrett Hartley, to form
the Saints kicker-holder-long
snapper trio.
