DETROIT -- After passing for over 3,500 yards and rushing for another 891, everybody sees Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels coming. Seeing him coming and stopping him, though, are two different things, and so far, the Commanders haven't run into many opponents who have cracked the code.

The Commanders have been riding a high. The post Jayden Daniels Influenced Commanders Veteran’s Retirement Stance After Dan Campbell Respected ‘Dangerous’ Rookie QB appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Daniels threw 25 touchdowns to nine picks and had a passer rating of 100.1 this season. He also rushed for 891 yards – a rookie QB record – and six touchdowns.

“He's dangerous, he poses a major threat,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said of Jayden Daniels, according to an article from Fox. “He does not play the position like a rookie quarterback. He's composed, he's a dangerous runner, he's smart. And then he's got weapons around him. He's a difference maker.”

The Commanders’ willingness to gamble on fourth down stems in large part from its rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound LSU product. In short-yardage situations, Washington can often get Daniels out of the pocket with the option to either throw or pass.
