In his NFL debut, Jayden Daniels ran 16 times, including 14 actual rushes against a blitz-heavy defense. While concerns linger about injury risks, a thorough review suggests they may be overstated.
Despite the Commanders' loss, Daniels expressed a hard grading of his performance, stating, 'We didn't win... There's some stuff that as an offense we left on the field. We have to execute better, but I felt like I did pretty well overall.'
The use of Daniels in designed runs, particularly short-yardage situations, poses both risks and rewards, especially given his history of success with similar plays at Arizona State and LSU.
Kingsbury's decision to call runs that targeted inside spaces were questionable, as they limited Daniels' options and created potential for larger hits, raising concerns similar to those experienced with other quarterbacks.
