Jayden Daniels began his NFL career as the draft’s second pick, but that is not how his rookie season will be remembered.

Jayden Daniels began his NFL career as the draft’s second pick, but that is not how his rookie season will be remembered.

Because few quarterbacks in league history have had as many firsts as Washington’s 24-year-old wunderkind quarterback.

Daniels rushed for 891 yards in the regular season, first all time among rookie quarterbacks.

In his playoff debut, Washington got its first postseason win since 2005. And in his second postseason game, he beat the NFC’s top seed to lead the Commanders to their first conference title game since 1991.

His 46 postseason completions are first all time among rookie quarterbacks. With six more passing yards, Daniels will pass Russell Wilson to rank first among postseason passing yards by a rookie.
