“These fires are much worse than people think…absolutely devastating in Pacific Palisades and Malibu,” he wrote. “I work about 6 miles from all of this and am currently heading that way.
“This image is of a plane to show the size of all this.”
Daniel played in the NFL from 2010 to 2022 after a standout college career at Missouri.
He was with the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers before stepping away from the game. He was primarily used as a viable substitute, but started five of his 74 appearances.
