Washington State’s Brian Danaher: durable Pac-10-era starter with a nasty injury wrinkle
Brian Danaher was a 12-game starter over three seasons for Washington State, but his career arc was interrupted by recurrent concussions and a shoulder injury, which matters as much as his tape. The upside: he was trusted enough to start early and often, and he also earned Pac-10 All-Academic honorable mention, hinting at a disciplined, coachable profile. For a team, that means a player with real starting experience and toughness — but one whose medical history would be a major part of any fit discussion.
