Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels saw an alignment he didn't like, changed the play and then made a throw that left him, and his teammates, smiling - about the present and the future.
In Daniels' preseason debut, he completed two-of-three passes for 45 yards in his only series but it was a 42-yard toss in a 20-17 loss to the New York Jets that left others impressed.
It was a third-and-6 and Daniels was alone in shotgun formation. But with the Jets playing tight coverage, Daniels checked from a screen to a go-ball, holding the safety in the middle of the field with his eyes before finding receiver Dyami Brown, who was well defended, down the right sideline.
