Jayden Daniels knew.

Back in July of 2014 when he was just 13 years old, the future Washington Commanders quarterback sent out a tweet with a bold declaration: "One day you guys gonna here [sic] my name everywhere."

LET'S NOT BRING IN MARCUS MARIOTA ANYMORE: That trick play was a dud!

Well, it's January of 2025. Daniels just led the Commanders to a huge upset win over the Detroit Lions. He just, as my colleague Robert Zeglinski wrote, cemented the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history.

More Jayden Daniels!
