Jayden Daniels Jokes He's Not Ready to Be Commanders' QB1: 'Don't Know the Playbook'

The Washington Commanders have invested in Jayden Daniels, but the quarterback knows that a long road lies ahead before he takes the field for the franchise.

Daniels was selected by Washington with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and met with local media for the first time on Friday. When asked if he was prepared to take over as the team's starting quarterback, Daniels was ready to pump the breaks a little bit, joking that he is "not prepared" at the current moment.

Daniels shot up the prospect pool after a breakout season at LSU in 2023.
