Jayden Daniels could be the Washington Commanders starting quarterback.
Washington Commanders No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels will get an opportunity to become the team's starting quarterback someday, but is that moment coming in a month in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
That has yet to be determined, but he will play in Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Jets, and the Commanders will get a better idea if he's ready to take on that role when the games begin to count. "Can Daniels handle the speed, physicality and nuance of the pro game right away? He's flashed poise, accuracy and playmaking ability in training camp, but he'll need to continue doing that in game situations against unfamiliar opponents,". "His performance over the next few weeks may decide whether offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury eases Daniels into the offense or allows him to open things up as he did at LSU.
Mariota has a lot of experience in 10 NFL seasons, and that could give him the edge over Daniels if he isn't ready to go right away.JEREMY BRENER Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
