Early years
Chase Daniel was born on October 7, 1986 in Irving, Texas to Bill and Vickie Daniel. He played American football at Southlake , Texas High School and led his team to a 2004 record of 16 straight wins, which meant winning the state championship. In his last two years, he led the team to 31 wins in 32 games. He threw passes for 4,617 yards and 49 touchdowns in 14 interceptions in his last season . In the running game he scored 1,425 yards and another 21 touchdowns. After playing quarterback as a freshman , he completed his sophomore season in high school as a wide receiver .
Despite his successes, the University of Texas (which Daniel wanted to move to) wasn't particularly interested in him because of his small size. When one of the two favorites of the Longhorns for the position of quarterback, Ryan Perrilloux ( Colt McCoy was the second, who then moved to the Texas Longhorns and became their starter in 2006), decided at short notice for the Louisiana State University , Daniel stayed with his Acceptance for the University of Missouri.
college
At the University of Missouri , Chase Daniel started out as backup quarterback Brad Smith . However, he was used by his coaches as often as possible in preparation for the coming seasons and was used as a freshman in ten games - including the bowl game against the University of South Carolina . For the 2006 season he became the starting quarterback after Smith's departure , and in his first season as a starter he set new records for gaining space in the passing game (3,526 yards - the old record of 2,436 yards was from 1992) and touchdown passes (28 - old record of 18 touchdowns from 1969). In the bowl game loss to Oregon State University , he threw passes for 330 yards (a new school record in a bowl game) and two touchdowns, at an average of 20.6 yards per pass caught.
The junior season went even better for Daniel than his sophomore year in college. He threw passes over 300 yards in 8 of 13 games. He had a run of 254 passes without interception, which was a new record in the Big 12 Conference and only missed a new NCAA record by 17 passes . The school record of 56 touchdowns (Brad Smith), he broke in a game against Texas A&M University with four touchdowns, which he already came to 59. At the end of the season he had scored a total of 62 touchdowns (the 33 this season broke his season record from the previous year as well as his 4,170 yards of space gained in the passing game) for the Mizzou Tigers. He was named Offensive Player of the Year for the Big 12 Conference - the first ever University of Missouri player. In the election for the Heisman Trophy he was 4th (behind Tim Tebow , Darren McFadden and Colt Brennan ).
At the end of his college career, Daniel was able to have another good season in his senior season as in the previous year. He improved his records from last year (4,335 yards of space gained and 39 touchdowns in passing) and also broke Brad Smith's school record for space in passing in the game against Oklahoma University (end of season / career 13,485 - Smith: 13,088).
NFL
The assessments of Daniel's potential in the run-up to the NFL Draft 2009 varied widely. Some experts considered him to be one of the better quarterbacks in the draft, but - as with college recruitment - there were great doubts about his small size. Added to this were concerns about how his good statistical values from a spread offense in college would now be reflected in the NFL.

Six feet was fine in a spread system, where the big gaps in the offensive line gave Daniel plenty of opportunity to throw the ball and see downfield. But in the NFL there wouldn't be gaps, and the linemen rushing at him would be six-five, not six-one. “I wonder,” Shonka went on. “Can he see? Can he be productive in a new kind of offense? How will he handle that? I'd like to see him set up quickly from center. I'd like to see his ability to read coverages that are not in the spread. I'd like to see him in the pocket. I'd like to see him move his feet. I'd like to see him do a deep dig, or deep comeback. You know, like a throw twenty to twenty-five yards down the field. "
