The Jayden Daniels buzz has me twitching a little bit. The Commanders have received another incremental bump since the start of the offseason, and this is one of the teams I’m more anxious to watch in the preseason. Mostly because of Daniels, admittedly, as he’s inching closer to my preseason Offensive Rookie of the Year pick. It would be something else if Daniels outplayed No. 1 pick Caleb Williams, a D.C. native, in 2024, ushering in a debate over which QB has the better future. Look, this situation isn’t vastly different situation from the one the Texans were in one year ago. Washington has a new, defensive-minded, player-friendly coach. A precocious rookie QB. New energy and hope in the building. Plus just enough playmakers on each side of the ball. I’m not saying the Commanders are winning both their division and a home playoff game, as Houston did in 2023. But the Texans started 0-2 and 3-4, and they entered Week 17 on the outside of the playoff picture last season. I realize this ranking doesn’t currently reflect it, but I’m prepared to push Washington up soon. Just a feeling.
