Sophomore Sensation: Jayden Daniels Poised for MVP-Caliber Season with Commanders
21 Jul
Summary
- Daniels rushed for a rookie QB record 891 yards in 2024
- Commanders made NFC title game in Daniels' rookie year
- Daniels focused on taking his game from "really good" to "elite"
Jayden Daniels is set to embark on his second NFL season with the Washington Commanders, and the expectations are sky-high. As a rookie in 2024, Daniels was the driving force behind the Commanders' surprise run to the NFC championship game, rushing for a record 891 yards - the most ever by a first-year quarterback.
Now, the Commanders are considered Super Bowl contenders, and Daniels is on the shortlist for MVP honors. The coaching staff and Daniels himself have spent the offseason focused on taking his game to new heights, with the goal of becoming "the best at this concept."
The Commanders have also made key offseason moves to surround Daniels with more talent, including trading for wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil. This stability and support system should allow Daniels to thrive in his sophomore campaign and potentially lead the Commanders to their first Super Bowl appearance in over two decades.
