Last season's Heisman Trophy winner is heading to Washington.
The Commanders acquired Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick at the NFL Draft on Thursday night, confirming the rumors that had been swirling about the team's interest in the LSU quarterback. Daniels will be the centerpiece of a rebuilding franchise that has only reached the playoffs twice in the last decade.

Daniels is a true dual-threat QB with the ability to hit deep targets or scramble for massive gains. He finished with 3,812 passing yards and 1,134 rushing yards for the Tigers in 2023, and he had 50 total touchdowns.
Now, the big question is whether Daniels' skill set will immediately translate to the next level. If it does, you will be seeing a lot of Daniels jerseys at Washington's home games.
