It’s the dawn of a new era for the Washington Commanders.
Jayden Daniels and Kliff Kingsbury could be a special pairing, given enough time to develop and take a full grasp of the offense.
The stellar rookie has drawn positive reviews at OTAs, including an impressive clip of him showing incredible accuracy in the rain, which obviously isn’t easy, let alone for a rookie (via NFL Rookie Watch).
Jayden Daniels’ accuracy in the rain is CRAZY.
Many NFL scouts reportedly believe Daniels could become the “best QB in the NFC East” very soon.
And now he has Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Austin Ekeler, and Zach Ertz to throw too.

While Caleb Williams was always considered to be the clear-cut No. 1 selection in this class, most NFL scouts agreed that the drop-off wasn’t that considerable with Daniels.
He ran away — both literally and figuratively — with the Heisman trophy, and had one of the best individual seasons in LSU football history for a quarterback, which is a lot to say for a school that also had Joe Burrow.
The Commanders are still projected to be the worst team in the NFC East Division, but it shouldn’t take long before they take some strides moving forward.
They have solid offensive pieces in Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Austin Ekeler, and Zach Ertz at the disposal of their stellar rookie, and he looks like a potential star in the making.
The Philadelphia Eagles will continue to be the best team and only Super Bowl contender in the division, but with some patience, health, and luck, the Commanders could join them soon.
