Daniels was drafted to be the Washington Commanders’ quarterback of the future, hopefully putting an end to the two-decade struggle the franchise has gone through to find an answer at the position. He has yet to be officially named the starter for the 2024 season because the staff wants to slow play his development and avoid putting too much on the former LSU signal-caller at once. In other words, he needs to earn it, not just from his coaches, but also his new teammates.
