The Washington Commanders quarterback put together a solid showing in his NFL debut.
Jayden Daniels's long-awaited NFL debut with the Washington Commanders didn't necessarily result in what the team was hoping, dropping their Week 1 game on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in blowout fashion 37-20.
Despite the lopsided loss for Washington, Daniels did have some bright moments against a solid Buccaneers' defense. Daniels put up pedestrian passing numbers, completing 71 percent of his passes for 184 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. However, it was Daniels' rushing ability that shined this past weekend as he ran the ball a total of 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns - both of which were team highs on the ground.
One thing is for certain when it comes to Daniels running the ball, he will need to learn how to slide and take care of his body. There were numerous instances in which he would dive forward or in an awkward position leaving his body susceptible to big hits. In a follow-up question by the media Daniels spoke on one of those hits he took in the personal foul hit by Antoine Winfield Jr. and whether he thought it was a cheap shot.
