Daniel signed a contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
As an undrafted rookie in 2020, Daniel failed to make the Falcons' 53-man roster.

He will likely need to impress on offense and on special teams to secure a roster spot.

Mikey Daniel: Unable to make 53-man roster
Rotowire
Daniel was waived by the Falcons on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The former South Dakota State Jack Rabbit faced an uphill battle to a Week 1 roster spot as he was tasked with dethroning one of the most heavily-utilized NFL fullbacks of 2019 in Keith Smith. There is certainly potential for Daniel to end up on the Falcons' 16-man practice squad in the coming days, but for now the undrafted rookie remains in limbo as Atlanta sorts out its roster construction for the start of the regular season.
