Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is a favorite for this year's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. As the awards ceremony approaches and the Super Bowl is right around the corner,

The Washington Commanders have been urged to keep Jayden Daniels' ultimate security blanket in 2025. The Washington Commanders ' first season under the guidance of rookie Jayden Daniels and head coach Dan Quinn was a successful one by any metric you want to use.

Washington fans have long awaited a quarterback capable of taking the franchise to the next level, and Daniels appears to be that player. His ability to make plays in crucial moments and lead his team down the field was instrumental in their postseason success and he has now etched his name in NFL history.

All told, Daniels set new NFL records for playoff passing yards (822) and completions (75) by a rookie. He tied Ben Roethlisberger (14 wins in 2005) for the most wins by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, including the postseason.

As such, in Lance Zierlein's latest mock draft, the Commanders get Daniels a new tackle, Josh Simmons, from Ohio State.

The comparisons to Washington Commanders' quarterback Jayden Daniels have been steady since before he was drafted, and aren't going to stop anytime soon, we expect. This time, Daniels' performance in his first season as part of the Commanders is being compared to a Super Bowl-winning quarterback who once ran for 849 yards without losing a single fumble.
