Overview

  • Pro Football Focus ranks Washington’s offensive line among the NFL’s most improved after adding tackle Laremy Tunsil and rookie Josh Conerly Jr.
  • The Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel and signed Austin Ekeler to bolster a receiving corps featuring Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz.
  • Daniels compiled over 3,500 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and nearly 900 rushing yards in his rookie season en route to the NFC Championship Game.
  • Former quarterback Phil Simms said he does not expect Daniels to contend seriously for MVP honors in 2025.
  • C.J. Stroud’s sophomore decline in 2024 is cited as a warning to Daniels, who has kept a low-key offseason to prepare for 2025.
