“These fires are much worse than people think…they are just absolutely devastating in Pacific Palisades and Malibu,” he wrote. “I work about 10km from all of this and am heading there now.
“This photo is taken from a plane to show the scale of it all.”
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 walking away from the game. He was primarily used as a viable substitute, but started five of his 74 appearances.
