Jayden Daniels

Jayden Daniels (born December 18, 2000) is an American professional football quarterback for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). Daniels played three seasons of college football for the Arizona State Sun Devils and two with the LSU Tigers. With LSU in 2023, he won the Heisman Trophy among other awards after leading the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in total yards and setting its single-season passer rating record. Daniels was selected by the Commanders second overall in the 2024 NFL draft. He set several rookie records while leading the Commanders to their most wins in a season and first NFC Championship Game appearance since 1991, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors. A walk-off touchdown pass thrown by Daniels during the final seconds of a game, known as the Hail Maryland, was also named the season's Moment of the Year. His second season was marred by injury, with him missing the majority of the season.
