NYU doctor reveals why Jayden Daniels' elbow looks so bizarre after photo of LSU's Heisman Trophy winner went viral ahead of next month's NFL Draft

An NYU doctor explained what is happening with Jayden Daniels' elbow during a picture that went viral earlier this week.

Fans grew concerned when a photo of the Heisman Trophy winner displayed a golf ball-sized lump on his right elbow while throwing the ball for LSU.

On Thursday, the New York Post asked Dr. Laith M. Jazrawi, Chief of the Division of Sports Medicine at NYU Langone Orthopedics, for his opinion on the picture. Dr. Jazrawi said the bizarre lump is not a huge cause for concern.

'He has olecranon bursitis,' Dr. Jazrawi believes. 'Sometimes pain, sometimes no pain,' he said of the symptoms.

'You can get a cortisone injection, or you can surgically remove the bursa.'

Daniels threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns with four interceptions for LSU last season

'The downtime for something like that is two to three weeks for a bursa excision, or you can play the whole season with it because it's generally not that painful,' he continued. 'It's surgically corrected. It's not a reconstruction or a ligament repair,'

Daniels threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns with just four interceptions for the Tigers on his way to the Heisman last season. LSU finished with a 10-3 record overall and 6-2 in conference play.

The quarterback is expected to be selected in the top three of next month's NFL draft, alongside Drake Maye and projected No. 1 pick Caleb Williams.

The first pick belongs to the Chicago Bears - followed by the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots.

'It's nothing you need to wait on healing time,' Dr. Jazrawi continued. 'It's really, you take it out and you're fine. And it's not even painful to begin with for some people, which likely includes Daniels, because he had it and he wasn't complaining. It sounds like he played pretty well.'
