Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Emerges as Elite Rookie Leader

News summary

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had a historic rookie season in 2024, leading the team to an NFC Championship appearance and earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Daniels posted impressive stats, including 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and a record-breaking 891 rushing yards for a rookie quarterback, ranking second in PFF overall grades among rookies since 2006. Analysts like Colin Cowherd and PFF's John Kosko have drawn comparisons between Daniels and elite quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, highlighting his poise, quick decision-making, and athleticism. Despite the high expectations and the Commanders' offseason roster improvements with players like Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil, there is concern about the potential for a sophomore slump, as defenses will adjust to counter his style. However, teammates and analysts remain optimistic about Daniels' ability to adapt and continue his ascent as a franchise quarterback. His quick release and calm under pressure have already placed him among the NFL's top quarterbacks in critical metrics, suggesting a promising future for both Daniels and the Commanders.
