Dennis Daley (born August 7, 1996) is an American football offensive tackle for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at South Carolina.

He was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He played his first three seasons in the NFL with the Panthers before being traded to the Tennessee Titans in 2022. He then signed with the Cardinals in 2023. He is of Jamaican descent.[1]

Early years

Daley is a native of Columbia, South Carolina.[2] He attended Ridge View High School.[3]

College career

Despite having already signed with the University of South Carolina, Daley spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Georgia Military College as a result of not qualifying for enrollment at South Carolina immediately after high school. He called his time at GMC "the toughest two years of [his] life", but also credits it for making him more disciplined. He began attending South Carolina in 2017 where he was a two-year starter for the South Carolina Gamecocks and started 23 games at left tackle.[3] He graduated from South Carolina in December 2018 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies before playing in the 2019 Senior Bowl.[2]

Carolina Panthers

Daley was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round (212th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.[3] He started nine games at left tackle his rookie season.

Tennessee Titans

On August 29, 2022, Daley and a 2024 seventh-round pick were traded to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a 2024 fifth-round pick.[7] Daley was made the starting left tackle following an injury to Taylor Lewan on the first offensive play of the Titans' Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills.[8] He started for the Titans at left tackle for the rest of the season.[9] Despite being part of the offensive line that blocked for Derrick Henry as he finished second in the league in rushing yards, Daley finished the season tied in the league for the most sacks allowed.[10] At the end of the season, Pro Football Focus ranked the Titans' offensive line the worst in the league.[11]
