Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has led his team to the NFC title game for the first time in 33 years, thanks in part to his impressive performance against the Lions. The 22-year-old quarterback was instrumental in a 45-31 win that sent Washington to the conference championship.
Head coach Dan Quinn credited Daniels with “a different poise” and a rare competitor’s mentality, which sets him apart from other young quarterbacks. “He just wants the ball in his hands to make the difference,” Quinn said. The young quarterback made great decisions with the football and showed exceptional mindfulness.
Daniels’ impressive performance has solidified his position as an elite quarterback in the NFL. With a rookie season that has already included five straight wins, Daniels is on track to become the first rookie quarterback to lead their team all the way to the Super Bowl. The Commanders’ success with Daniels at the helm suggests that they may be ahead of schedule, and having an elite quarterback is the key to achieving success in the NFL.
