NFL career stats
Pro Football Reference via Wikipedia infobox, through 2025How Daniels plays
Jayden Daniels makes a defence defend every inch of the pocket and the space behind it. At 1.93 m he sees over the line, keeps his eyes downfield, and escapes when the primary read is covered. Opponents should collapse the edge without losing contain, because once he breaks the tackle he turns a broken play into a fresh set of downs. Force him to throw into tight windows.
The United States quarterback lines up for the Washington Commanders in the NFL after a college career at Arizona State and LSU. The offence gives him room to create outside the pocket, and his career passing yards sit at 4,830. Defences must respect both his arm and his legs on every snap, because Washington's attack changes when he leaves the pocket.
