The Los Angeles Rams have a knack for finding hidden gems on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, and according to Pro Football Focus, their latest sixth-round steal could be ready to shine from day one.

Meet CJ Daniels, the wide receiver out of Miami who might just be the most underrated pick of the entire draft. With a collegiate journey that reads like a sports drama—helping Liberty University achieve its first-ever undefeated FBS regular season and a conference title, then playing a key role in Miami's return to national championship contention—Daniels has the pedigree to make an immediate impact.

For Rams fans, this story feels familiar. The franchise has built a reputation for turning late-round picks into stars, from Puka Nacua to Kyren Williams. Daniels now has the chance to add his name to that legacy, and PFF analyst Bradley Locker has already tabbed him as one of the Day 3 selections most likely to contribute as a rookie.

Here's the thing: many expected the Rams to use their first-round pick on a clear-cut third receiver. Instead, they waited until the sixth round to address the position, trusting their scouting department's eye for talent. Daniels brings six years of college experience across three programs, and his production speaks for itself—1.73 yards per route run with a minuscule 3.8% drop rate in 2025. At 6-foot-2, he plays even bigger than his frame suggests, boasting a career 62.3% contested catch rate that screams "go-up-and-get-it" receiver.

The opportunity is wide open. With Tutu Atwell gone and Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield yet to lock down the WR3 role, Daniels steps into a competition that's ripe for the taking. Remember how Mumpfield turned heads during OTAs last year? Daniels could be next in line for that breakout moment.

As the Rams gear up for another season with stars like Nacua and Davante Adams leading the way, the stage is set for their latest late-round gem to prove that great things come in small draft packages.
