3 standouts from Commanders OTAs

### **Jayden Daniels**

Daniels didn't have many eye-catching moments during Wednesday's practice. He was as comfortable and collected as ever, leading the offense during drills and dishing out the ball to his receivers with accuracy and poise.

Daniels, who appears slightly more muscular, has clearly been putting in the work to stay on top of his game this offseason, and that deserves some credit.

"I gotta go out there and prove myself each and every day, no matter if it was last season, this season, 10, 20 years down the road. You have to prove yourself each and every season," Daniels said.

By all accounts, Daniels has had an excellent offseason and earned some praise from his teammates and coaches for it. "He's...as focused and relentless as you could be about getting better," said head coach Dan Quinn. "And so that's why I said for us around here, we appreciate that." Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury echoed that sentiment, saying Daniels is "very highly motivated to be as good as he can be."

Daniels set a high standard for himself after putting together a standout rookie campaign, and one good offseason practice does not mean he is destined to be even better in his second season. Still, it's evident that he is putting in the work to elevate his team to even greater heights in 2025.
