Overview

  • ESPN analytics expert Aaron Schatz attributed the Commanders’ rise from 18th to third in under-25 talent to Daniels’ 3,568 passing yards and 70.6 QBR as a rookie.
  • CBS Sports’ Justin Edwards predicted Daniels will earn All-Pro honors after throwing 25 touchdown passes and rushing for 891 yards last season.
  • Former NFL receiver Chad Ochocinco said Daniels is on track to join Madden 29’s exclusive 99 Club when the game launches in August.
  • Washington strengthened its offense around Daniels by acquiring wide receiver Deebo Samuel and signing Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
  • As he heads into his sophomore campaign, Daniels must overcome high MVP expectations and help resolve Terry McLaurin’s ongoing contract holdout.
