Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels' poise and performance in a key victory over the Detroit Lions earned him comparisons to legendary golfer Tiger Woods from Tom Brady. Daniels impressed with his passing and leadership in the high-pressure win, prompting Brady to highlight his ability to thrive in challenging situations.
Washington Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels helped break the team’s drought of NFC Championship appearances with a shocking victory over the Detroit Lions last week. Daniels was 22-of-31 with 299 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He was not sacked in the game, and Washington was 3-for-4 on fourth-down conversion attempts.
The young quarterback’s ability to be poised and under control in high-pressure situations earned him praise from arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady. The former NFL star compared Daniels to Tiger Woods during an episode of the 'Let’s Go!' podcast. 'How do we really evaluate confidence? How do we evaluate poise? Because some people have it. The moments aren’t too big for them,' Brady said.
So even though Jayden Daniels is just a rookie, he has that poise and confidence. Imagine, I guess, another correlation, look at a young Tiger Woods. He never had proven on the big stage that he was ready for those big moments in the Masters in ’97, but he had proved that to himself in all those junior amateurs that he won, that he didn’t care who he was playing. It was him versus him.
The Commanders and Eagles play at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. The game can be seen on FOX. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
