A photo of former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has gone viral on social media, showing his elbow looking disformed while throwing the football. 

The photo was taken from a November 2023 game against Alabama, with his right throwing elbow looking mangled while he releases the ball. 

While the photo did not go viral during the original Southeastern Conference game, a post on X from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport using the picture grossed out many people on social media. 

Daniels won the Heisman Trophy last season and is expected to be taken within the first three picks in next month's NFL Draft. 

The Bears, Commanders, and Patriots are all in need of a quarterback and have the first three selections. Yet, his NFL promise did not stop the visceral reaction to the photo of Daniels' elbow.

'I will never sleep again after seeing this elbow. WTH,' another football fan said on X. 

'We using AI pictures now Ian?' one person questioned on social media.
