Jayden Daniels didn't have many flaws coming out of college. Analysts thought he was the most pro-ready quarterback, putting together an exceptional campaign at LSU to win the Heisman Trophy. After impressing the Washington Commanders throughout their assessments, he became the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.

There was one concern. Experts wondered whether his slender frame, from a dynamic style of play, would increase the risk of injury against elite-level defenders who'll look to knock him out at every turn. Everything went better than expected last season, but cracks have begun to show this time around.
