The Washington Commanders might have struck gold with their first-round pick, quarterback Jayden Daniels. Early indications suggest he could be the ideal leader for the team’s new chapter. His veteran teammates are highly impressed with the No. 2 overall pick.
Offensive tackle Andrew Wylie shared his thoughts with the Washington media about Daniels, saying, “That dude can sling it, man. Very talented guy back there. Makes it look easy too…He’s always smiling,” according to JP Finlay.

It seems Wylie couldn’t help but grin while discussing the quarterback he’ll be protecting this season.
No one can predict exactly how Daniels and the team will perform this year, but it can’t be worse than what they were before new head coach Dan Quinn’s arrival. Washington hasn’t had a winning record since 2016, won a playoff game since 2005, or taken home a Super Bowl since 1991.

Despite the challenges, the team is off to a strong start in their rebuild. They drafted the Heisman-winning quarterback to lead the offense and added veterans like former Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz and all-purpose running back Austin Ekeler. On defense, they signed future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer Bobby Wagner to play middle linebacker.
While the Commanders might not be as legendary as the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and might not even have a winning record this year, they have assembled a formidable team on both sides of the ball. If Daniels lives up to expectations, the Commanders could be in great shape moving forward.
