Jayden Daniels' mother has proud mom moment over Commanders QB's ROTY win

It has been a wild year and a half for Washington Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels. After winning the Heisman Trophy in his final year with the LSU Tigers, he never looked back.

Daniels went on to become the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, largely overshadowed by No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears.

From Day 1, Daniels let it be known that he was going to be a force in the NFL.

During his rookie year, Daniels finished the regular season throwing for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He added 891 yards and six scores on the ground.

But, perhaps more important than the individual statistics, Daniels helped spark the Commanders' turnaround, leading the team from an abysmal 4-13 season to 12-5 with an appearance in the NFC Championship.

The future is bright in Washington, and Daniels is a large reason why.
