The Commanders' rookie quarterback seems confident heading into his first NFL campaign.
No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels has expectations heading into his rookie season. Of course, there are things out of his control -- such as the level of protection he gets from his offensive line or whether his wide receivers are sharp in getting open and completing plays. But, for the most part, Daniels is expected to show flashes and potential early on.
“Nah, not at all," Daniels claimed. "I'm just out here just doing my job. You know, how can I help the team get better each and every day and that's what I'm focused on. I'm focused on learning, focus on going out here and keep competing every day and having fun, bringing that energy and that joy and that competitiveness to the team, which DQ and them preach all the time. We want to compete in everything that we do.
The Commanders rookie has been able to talk to Washington veteran linebacker -- who they acquired in free agency -- Bobby Wagner. The linebacker is littered with both talent and experience, and he can help Daniels view the game from another angle, helping him develop further and avoid making the same mistake multiple times.
