ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders could have named rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels the starter at the outset of training camp. They drafted him second overall for a reason, after all.
Although Daniels continues to compete with veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota -- himself the second overall pick in the 2015 draft -- for the job, in earnest, Daniels' biggest competitor is himself.
But there's still a few more things the Commanders want to see before announcing him as their QB1. Daniels has shown his skill during camp -- his accurate and deft touch on his throws; the speed that makes him dangerous as a runner.
