Rookie QB Jayden Daniels Leads Commanders' Offensive Juggernaut

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Washington Commanders are poised to be one of the league's top teams. At the heart of their success is second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels, who had a historic rookie campaign in 2024. Daniels became just the third rookie QB to win 12 games, while setting records with a 69% completion rate and 891 rushing yards.

Surrounding Daniels is a star-studded supporting cast. In the backfield, veteran running back Austin Ekeler is coming off another dominant season, joining Alvin Kamara as the only players to top 300 rushing and 300 receiving yards in each of the past seven years. The receiving corps is equally dangerous, led by Terry McLaurin, who set a franchise record with 13 touchdown catches last season, and the newly acquired Deebo Samuel.

On defense, the Commanders have bolstered their unit with the additions of veteran linebackers Bobby Wagner and Von Miller. Wagner, the NFL's active tackles leader, has recorded at least 100 tackles in 13 straight seasons, while Miller, the league's active sacks leader, makes his Washington debut. Alongside them, rising star Frankie Luvu is coming off a career year, joining T.J. Watt as one of only two players since 2022 with at least 20 sacks, 40 tackles for loss, and 15 passes defended.

With a balanced roster of elite veterans and explosive young talents, the Washington Commanders enter the 2025 season as a legitimate NFC contender, poised to make a deep playoff run.
