Some say that Jayden Daniels has had the best rookie QB season ever. But is he actually topping what C.J. Stroud did last year? We break it down.
Jayden Daniels or C.J. Stroud as a rookie? It's a question that must come to mind amid Daniels’ historic rookie season. The front-runner to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels guided the Commanders on a game-winning field goal drive to beat the Buccaneers in the NFC wild card last week, securing Washington’s first divisional-round appearance in 19 years. The No. 2 overall pick also became the first rookie starting quarterback to win a road playoff game since 2012.
He also paced the NFL in rushing yards on scrambles . His 28 scrambles for 233 yards and 20 first downs on third and fourth down combined led the NFL this season, too. Daniels had six rushing touchdowns on 148 carries to go with his 891 rushing yards. Stroud, meanwhile, had just 39 carries for 167 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie.
