Film Session: Jayden Daniels’ legs prove lethal in debut, but his overall processing was a mixed bag

In his latest presser, Commanders’ head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged the room for growth in his rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who ran the ball 16 times in his debut. While it is not ideal to run 16 times in a game, his explosive ability flashed several times in a few of his runs, and his legs showed to be the only offense that Washington had against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alternatively, from a growth standpoint, it is the hope that Daniels transitions into a pass-first quarterback and takes advantage of opportunities downfield.

In this film session, we will examine Daniels’ ability to process pressure and coverage against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in some moments.
