Jayden Daniels is coming off a dream season. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft won Offensive Rookie of the Year, then led his team to the NFC title game, becoming one of only six rookie quarterbacks since the AFL-NFL merger to do so. His Washington Commanders dropped that game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, but it was a spectacular season for them nonetheless, considering from where they started.
Still, Daniels isn’t satisfied with what he’s done.
“As a competitor, you’re always trying to find little ways to get better,” Daniels said on a recent podcast appearance, via NFL Media.
“For me, last year was last year. That’s great, but it’s a whole new year now. I still got to go out there, I’ve got prove myself to my teammates, the organization, each and every day that I’m getting better. When it’s time to prepare and when those games come, I’ve got to know that, hey, how can I eliminate some tendencies? That’s the big thing.”
Daniels, of course, was one of the best players in the NFL this past season regardless of experience. He completed 69% of his passes at an average of 7.4 yards per attempt while throwing for 25 touchdowns against 9 interceptions and also rushing for 891 yards and another 6 scores.
He finished the season ranked eighth in the NFL in expected points added per dropback, via Tru Media, posting a mark (0.15) even better than that of the previous season’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, C.J. Stroud (0.11). Of course, Daniels will be looking to stave off the kind of backslide Stroud experienced in Year 2 of his NFL career, which is why he’s talking about proving himself all over again even after one of the best rookie seasons in league history.
Like the Texans last year, the Commanders upgraded their Rookie-of-the-Year quarterback’s supporting cast ahead of his second season. The acquisition of Deebo Samuel should give Daniels a stronger No. 2 option in the passing game, while Laremy Tunsil should help protect his blind side. Washington could still give him some more help in this coming week’s NFL Draft, but of course, he’s plenty talented to begin with and showed even as a rookie that he can make the players around him better. Provided, that is, that he does the work he’s speaking of to get better.

Muller é direto e crava time em situação de emergência no Brasileirão
Muller concede entrevista ao podcast "Reis da Resenha" (Reprodução - YouTube) Muller está convicto de que o Santos ‘precisa abrir o olho’ para evitar um cenário catastrófico na temporada 2025.

No apontamento feito, o tetracampeão frisou sobre o clube precisar buscar a definição sobre um novo treinador, algo que foi solucionado nas últimas horas, e a necessidade de a partir do novo comandante, traçar estratégias para fortalecer o plantel, que ele considera limitado. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Já falei e vou repetir, o Santos precisa contratar um treinador, não é o momento para o Sampaio assumir.

Biggest reaches from every round of the 2025 NFL Draft
Jaxson Dart was the biggest reach of Round 1: Although the Giants had a quarterback need, Dart was PFF's 131st-ranked prospect. The New York Jets made one of the boldest bets of Day 3: The Jets selected Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith — ranked No. 343 on the PFF Big Board — with pick No. 110 overall. Final chance to claim 25% off PFF+: Use code DRAFT25 and unlock access to player grades, fantasy tools and the 2025 Draft Guide. Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes Reaches are a part of every NFL draft, but context matters. Missing on a pick early can set a franchise back, while taking a swing on a high-upside prospect later in the draft often makes sense. The 2025 NFL Draft offered examples of both.
