The native Arizonan was a two-time First Team All-Conference pick, earning the Morris Trophy as the Pac-10’s best offensive lineman and leading Arizona State to a conference title in 1986. He started 39 consecutive games for the Sun Devils after moving from tight end. McDaniels was selected in the first round of the 1988 NFL Draft by Minnesota. He played 15 seasons in the league with the Vikings and Tampa Bay and secured 12 trips to the Pro Bowl. Named NFL/True Value Man of the Year for his charity work in 1996, he is a current nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Active in the community, McDaniels created and facilitated “Hands On,” an after school program for disadvantaged children. He additionally developed the R.O.C.K.
