Washington Commanders Select Jayden Daniels - Tyler’s Take

With the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders selected LSU Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels. The dynamic playmaker will bring a sense of excitement to our Nation’s Capital that this fan-base has not seen since Robert Griffin III was selected 2nd overall in 2012.

What is Washington getting with Jayden Daniels?

First, let’s talk about Jayden’s unique skill set. He will enter the NFL and should immediately be the fastest quarterback in the league. He can surely scoot, and although we don’t necessarily want to see him tucking and running like we saw him do during his last two seasons at LSU, make no mistake - defenses are going to have to account for his legs on every play.
