Jayden Daniels looked like the No. 2 overall pick on Sunday, showing off the explosive potential that made him the second quarterback off the board but the inexperience that plagues most rookie signal-callers.

It was an uneven performance for the young quarterback in the 37-20 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as he finished 17-of-24 for 184 yards through the air with no interceptions or touchdowns and two sacks taken.

He was far more dynamic as a runner, rushing 16 times for 88 yards and two scores.

Daniels undoubtedly showcased his ability to extend plays or break the pocket and reel off major gains.
