Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has solid chance for offensive rookie of the year honors
Before being selected by the Commanders at No. 2 overall, Daniels played college football for the three seasons at Arizona State, before transferring to the LSU Tigers for his final two collegiate seasons. His college success was solid, but his 2023 season at LSU was spectacular, earning him a slew of awards and setting records that left football fans and NFL front offices impressed.
Daniels' performance at LSU in his last college season was outstanding. He won the Heisman Trophy, which is awarded to the nation’s top player. He also secured the Walter Camp Player of the Year and the Davey O’Brien Award, recognizing him as the nation’s top quarterback. Additionally, he took home the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, cementing his status as the best QB in the country. He was a finalist for the Maxwell Award, which is given to the nation’s top player.
While the Chicago Bears immediately named No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams their starting quarterback, the Washington Commanders are letting Daniels compete for the job by giving Daniels and another former Heisman-winning No. 2 overall pick in Marcus Mariota, equal reps in OTAs. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Daniels will adapt to the NFL and whether he can bring immediate success to the Commanders. His ability to make plays with both his arm and his legs makes him a dynamic player who can potentially turn the franchise’s fortunes around.“What we learn with any player, ‘O.K., this is a concept that he rips it on this route. This specific concept you can see it.
Expect Daniels to quickly win the starting job in Washington, and his his arm and scrambling ability to propel the Commanders into contention in the NFC East.Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
