Jayden Daniels made a significant impact as a rookie in the NFL last season, displaying exceptional talent and potential. Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury recently expressed his belief in Daniels' ability to further elevate his performance as he continues to mature in the league.

"You can see the comfort level was there this year," Kingsbury stated during a press conference. He highlighted how Daniels displayed improved mobility and decision-making on the field. "He’s not thinking as much; he’s playing fast and letting his natural gifts take over. That’s what we want to see, and I expect him to take a big jump in his progression as a quarterback."

Daniels concluded the 2024 season with impressive statistics, throwing for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while completing 69 percent of his passes, albeit while being sacked 47 times. Additionally, he contributed in the running game with 891 rushing yards and six touchdowns, leading the Commanders to a commendable 12-5 record and a spot in the NFC Championship Game. His performance earned him the title of Offensive Rookie of the Year, marking one of the most remarkable seasons for a first-year quarterback in NFL history. Kingsbury emphasized the hard work and dedication that Daniels displays, noting, "He works extremely hard and is focused on improving every day."
