Jayden Daniels' agent, Ron Butler, is not pleased with the Washington Commanders' pre-draft process. The NFLPA-certified agent has been on a social media spree since news broke of the Commanders interviewing four QB prospects simultaneously.
First, on Wednesday, Pro Football Talk criticized the Washington Commanders for interviewing all four top 2024 NFL Draft QB prospects en masse. Butler was seen replying to the PFT post with a "thinking face" emoji.
Furthermore, the experienced agent liked several posts lambasting the Commanders' process. The most telling was a post that stated "How many companies do this? Puts them around their peers? Bring players from the team along and see how they interact? Who the f*** cares how they interact with players they will never player with? This doesn't make sense to me."
NFL insider Adam Schefter lends more credibility to the rumors of Jayden Daniels' camp's dissatisfaction as he stated on X (formerly Twitter).

"It didn't seem to go over too well with the agent for Jayden Daniels, Ron Butler, who sounded off on social media last night that he didn't seem particularly pleased with the process. I think Jayden Daniels thought it would be a visit with just him meeting with the Commanders. Many people think Jayden Daniels will be the No. 2 overall pick. But the Commanders essentially opened up the process."
