The Washington Commanders selected quarterback Jayden Daniels as the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, leading to Sam Howell's trade to the Seattle Seahawks. Howell became the first Washington quarterback to start every regular-season game since 2023 but failed to impress general manager Adam Peters. After a failed backup role in Seattle, Howell joined the Minnesota Vikings, where he now struggles to secure the No. 2 QB position. Training camp performance has raised concerns about his development, and the ongoing trend of struggles is evident on the field.

Howell isn't picking things up quickly enough, and it's showing on the field.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell is an accomplished quarterback developer, but even he might have his work cut out here.
Howell isn't a rookie anymore. These are more than just growing pains.
