The Washington Commanders hit the lottery, choosing quarterback Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in last year's 2024 NFL draft. The Commanders have made it clear that if they had held the No. 1 pick, it would have always been Daniels.
Daniels wasn't just the NFL's best rookie last season; he was also one of the NFL's better quarterbacks — as a rookie. Daniels broke several rookie and NFL records and was in the MVP conversation for much of the season.
