Overview

  • Jayden Daniels revealed at Fanatics Fest that he plans a screen-heavy approach to feature newly acquired wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
  • Deebo Samuel brings 8.3 yards after catch per reception from 2024, supplying Washington with a dynamic underneath threat.
  • Left tackle Laremy Tunsil arrives via trade to anchor the blindside and support Daniels’s development.
  • Pro Bowl receiver Terry McLaurin remains absent from voluntary workouts in an ongoing contract standoff.
  • Analysts predict that resolving McLaurin’s holdout and sustaining Daniels’s rookie momentum will be key to Washington’s contender hopes.
