Jayden Daniels faces new doubters heading into next season after limited availability in 2025. His rookie rise was strong, but only seven appearances left expectations unmet. Herm Edwards believes Daniels can silence narratives if he remains healthy, noting Daniels played every game and attended every practice at Arizona State. Edwards compares Daniels’ style to Randall Cunningham and expects Washington to be dangerous when fully healthy. Washington’s offseason roster improvements matter, but the team’s ceiling depends on Daniels’ availability. Daniels’ 2024 performance carried the Commanders to the NFC Championship game, while the team struggled without him. Daniels is viewed as a dynamic dual-threat who should benefit from David Blough’s new scheme.
""Jayden's got to stay healthy, he knows that. I love the kid. Magic first year in the league. This team has the potential to do that when he's fully healthy. Never got hurt for me at all at Arizona State. Played every game. Came to every practice. He reminds me of Randall Cunningham. I think when you look at Washington, if he can stay healthy, this team is good. They've got a good football team over there.""
"Daniels is uber-talented. His meteoric rise as a rookie was sensational. Featuring just seven times last season was extremely disappointing, but the quarterback is eager to right this wrong and get the Commanders back among the playoff hopefuls next time around."
"Washington will only go as far as Daniels takes them. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft proved how far he could take the Commanders in Year 1 of his professional career, surging them to the NFC Championship game. The drop-off was just as drastic without him, so health is paramount moving forward."
"Daniels is a top talent. He's a dynamic dual-threat who should be better insulated in David Blough's new scheme"
