There have been few rookies to come out of the gates as hot as the Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels under center. Even his rivals are in awe of what he can do on the field to dominate games. He helped the Commanders make the NFC Championship Game in his first season.
Ahead of the 2025 NFL Honors, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had high praise for Jayden Daniels, sharing how the Commanders rookie has played against his team.
"I get sick when I think the Cowboys have got to play him twice a year for the rest of his career. I would say that we played him pretty good in Washington, and we played him pretty good for half when we got him down to Dallas. But he's a great talent, unique. I'm glad to have him in the National Football League, and frankly, really, I like the idea of competing as we look forward for years ahead."
