The Commanders drafted their quarterback of the future in Jayden Daniels in the 2024 NFL Draft, and other teams are already on notice.
The Washington Commanders hope to have their quarterback of the future in Jayden Daniels after selecting him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
And while nothing is surefire in the NFL, other teams outside of Washington are preemptively building up courage about what could come of the second overall pick. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler“This is the time of the year where I talk to teams, just about big-picture stuff, what do you think of this player, that player, and I’ve had multiple people bring up this week, unprompted, I’m kind of scared what Washington could be with Jayden Daniels.
That was not the only feedback that Fowler received either, as NFL teams see Daniels, while not as dynamic as a runner, as a better passer than two-time MVP Lamar Jackson was at this stage of his career: Apr 25, 2024; Detroit, MI, USA; LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels poses after being selected by the Washington Commanders as the No. 2 pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza.

“Because he’s got the high-end running ability like some of these other quarterbacks we’ve seen come in, but he is more advanced as a passer. It was brought up to me, the comp with Lamar Jackson, maybe not quite as good of a runner as Jackson was, but good enough. But, a better passer at this stage of his career than Jackson was."
