Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed one of the most impressive NFL debut seasons by winning The Associated Press' Offensive Rookie of the Year award at the NFL Honors ceremony Thursday night in New Orleans.
In leading Washington to its best season in more than three decades, Daniels transformed a 4-13 team into a 12-5 one, guiding the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game.
He is the first Washington player to win Offensive Rookie of the Year since quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2012.
After being the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, Daniels became the first rookie in league history to throw for over 3,500 yards and rush for over 800 yards in a season.
