First he was a quarterback, and then he was a wide receiver. He plays on special teams, too. So is there anything B.J. Daniels can't do on a football field?

"I can't kick. I cannot kick a football," Daniels said. "Honestly, I think I could play everything except for anything on the line and kicker."

Another thing Daniels said he's not good at is accepting failure. He dreams big, which brings us to the top of our list of 12 things you (probably) don't know about the Seahawks' versatile wide receiver:

1. If he wasn't playing football…

Daniels: "I'd be playing basketball in the NBA. I was a point guard in college. [But] I was too short to play three positions in basketball."

8. His favorite app is Instagram.

Daniels: "[I like taking pictures of] scenery. I'm from Florida, and everyone thinks it's palm trees and beaches. Where I'm from, it's not. Tallahassee is northern Florida. So even when I came here, I like seeing the mountains and the trees and the lake."

11. His greatest weakness is...

Daniels: "My family. My little sisters – saying no to them. One's in college and one plays high school basketball. We used to fight all the time when we were little, but since we got older things have changed. I'm very protective. I'm daddy No. 2."

12. His parents are his idols.

Daniels: "Just the way they raised me and my little sisters, things they've faced and been through. I've gotten older, so I'm understanding some of the struggles they had to make sure we got through school and college."
