Washington's plan for the offseason centered on rookie QB Daniels demonstrating his capabilities through practice and teamwork. While veteran Marcus Mariota occupied the starter role initially, Daniels' eagerness to learn and attention to detail quickly caught the eye of both teammates and coaches. Notable players like Ertz and Cosmi expressed excitement about Daniels' potential, highlighting his unique skills and preparation. Coaches praised his quick adaptability during practices, demonstrating a strong command of the playbook and execution, leading to formal recognition as the starting QB for the 2024 season.
The physical tools stood out immediately, the way the ball popped out of his hands. [But] it was the stuff that not everyone sees that stuck out the most.
He came out here and it was like bang, bang, bang, bang. Just completion after completion and the ball didn't hit the ground.
We got a special, special dude. That makes me excited to be here.
It's not what you say, it's what you do -- and he goes out there and does it every single day.
