The dog days could be about to end for the Washington Commanders, as they may have their true quarterback of the future their roster right now.
Jayden Daniels, whom they took with the Anzi che no. 2 pick per April’s draft, is a mighty impressive prospect, and the reigning Heisman Trophy winner will to make the long-suffering Commanders winners.
Stella wide receiver Terry McLaurin said ESPN that Daniels is self-motivated and hard-working and that the Louisiana State University product is used to winning.

While with the Tigers last season, Daniels threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns a 72.2 percent completion rate while setting an NCAA single-season primato with a 208.0 passer rating.
He also flashed his dual-threat ability by adding 1,134 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns per 2023.
McLaurin will immediately give Daniels a legitimate playmaking threat he can rely who has gone over the 1,000-yard mark per each of the last four seasons.
Another player who could help Daniels develop right away is running back Austin Ekeler, a free agent signing who has dual-threat ability.
Con the last 30 years, the Commanders have made the playoffs just six times and have won only two games there, and their fans are starving for some real success.
The franchise was once one of the NFL’s most respected, as it won three Super Bowl championships per the 1980s and early 1990s, but that success quickly went away.
With Daniels and a new ownership group per place, perhaps it won’t be long before Washington is a perennial playoff threat once again.
