Chase will be here shortly to take your questions!
Buzzmaster (12:22 PM)
Chase is just finishing up with Colin Cowherd.
Buzzmaster (12:28 PM)
Chase is on his way!
Shelly (Boston)
More nerve-racking -- being recruited out of high school or preparing for the NFL draft?
Chase Daniel (12:30 PM)
I think preparing for the NFL draft. It's your job, it's how you make your living. You want to make sure everything is in line.
Mitchell (Cleveland, OH)
Hey, what's up, Chase? I was just wondering, out of all of the NFL teams, where do you personally want to go?
Chase Daniel (12:30 PM)
Personally, for me, being drafted by anyone would be a great accomplishment. I'm excited for the opportunity.
carson (cleveland)
besides football, what other sports do you like and what teams?
Chase Daniel (12:31 PM)
I'm a big baseball fan and basketball as well. I like the Mavericks for basketball. Baseball, the Rangers.
Steiny (NYC)
What was the best advice that Gary Pinkel has ever given you?
Chase Daniel (12:32 PM)
Pretty much be your own man. You have to follow your heart in whatever you do. Always be the hardest worker.
Henry (Buffalo)
How much will you miss throwing the ball to Jeremy Maclin?
Chase Daniel (12:32 PM)
It's going to be tough without 9 out there. But he's going to be fine and I'm excited about the next level.
Colin (Classroom)
What will you miss the most from Missouri?
Chase Daniel (12:33 PM)
The fans. And the community of Columbia. Everything that the University has done has been top notch. It will certainly be missed.
Dan (Detroit)
What will you do to prepare yourself for hte combine?
Chase Daniel (12:34 PM)
Right now I'm training in Houston at a facility called the Plex. Working out twice a day, six days a week and throwing almost every single day. Eating very healthy as well.
Daniel (st. louis mo)
What was your favorite game while at MIZZOU? My guess is the 2007 kanas game.
Chase Daniel (12:34 PM)
You would be right. The intensity of the game what was put on the line was something that will never happen again.
Pete (NC)
What was it like playing under the lights against Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship? What's the pressure like?
Chase Daniel (12:36 PM)
It was mindblowing, just being out there knowing what was on the line. I had a great time the past few years and hopefully we'll win some Big 12 championships in the future.
Nick (NC)
Any quarterbacks in particular that you try to emulate on the field?
Chase Daniel (12:36 PM)
Drew Brees and Brett Favre.
Andy (Denver)
Who wins the Super Bowl?
Chase Daniel (12:37 PM)
I've got to go with the Cardinals. Kurt Warner is an unbelievable player. His story from bagging groceries to playing in three Super Bowls is unbelieveable. It shows you anyone with the right mindset can do anytihng.
Steiny (NYC)
If you were not a football player, what would you be?
Chase Daniel (12:37 PM)
A football coach.
James Howell (Indianapolis)
Would you have rather win the Heisman in 2007/08 or be picked with the #1 pick overall?
Chase Daniel (12:38 PM)
Number 1 draft pick.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Is there any WR currently in the NFL that you are dying to throw to?
Chase Daniel (12:39 PM)
TO would be pretty fun to throw to. With his size and speed and ability to go up and get it.
James Howell (Indianapolis)
Who do you think is the greatest quarterback of all time?
Chase Daniel (12:40 PM)
Slinging Sammy Baugh.
Steiny (NYC)
Do you listen to what people in the media say about you?
Chase Daniel (12:41 PM)
The media is such an influential driving force these days that even if you don't want to listen to it, you're going to hear it from other people.
Dayne (Rayland, OH)
If you weren't a QB, what other position on offense would you be?
Chase Daniel (12:42 PM)
Receiver. Bar none. I played WR my sophomore year in high school. I caught 80 passes.
Kenny (Des Moines)
Where is the toughest place to play on the road in the Big XII
Chase Daniel (12:42 PM)
Iowa State. Ames, Iowa. It's always freezing cold and the grass is always frozen over.
Ted (Houston)
What do you see out of the Astros this year?
Chase Daniel (12:43 PM)
I see a lot out of hte Astros this year. I've been working out with Lance Berkman down in Houston and he seems very positive about the outlook of the season.
James (Indianapolis)
Who was your favorite NFL team growing up?
Chase Daniel (12:44 PM)
Cowboys. Growing up and being born in Irving, TX it was sort of hard not to follow them.
Cy (San Diego)
Will you continue to wear mizzou gear unders your NFL uniform kinda like Jordan did with his North Carolina gear?
Chase Daniel (12:46 PM)
I'll always have a place for Missouri in my heart. I'm sure I'll have plenty of gear to wear and represent Missouri.
Dave (NY)
What's your feelings on a BCS playoff?
Chase Daniel (12:47 PM)
I think before 10 years is up that there will be a playoff put in place and I think it's a great idea.
Chase Daniel (12:48 PM)
Thanks for all my loyal fans, I know who you are. I appreciate you asking me questions. Hopefully I'll see you on Sundays.
