NFL Rumors: Jayden Daniels' 'Coolness' Has Commanders Veterans 'Gravitating' to Him

Jayden Daniels has reportedly endeared himself to his Washington Commanders teammates on and off the field.

ESPN's Jeff Darlington discussed the rookie quarterback's budding leadership during an appearance on SportsCenter.

"[The Commanders] just finished up joint practices with the Miami Dolphins. Talking to people on both teams about Jayden Daniels, this is a guy who's doing things behind the scenes. We're not talking about him quite as much as say Caleb Williams, and yet behind the scenes his leadership is what is standing out right now. Veteran players, I was told, are really gravitating toward Daniels in a way that's kind of showing that he's beyond his years.
