Commanders officially name rookie Jayden Daniels starting QB #commanders #ncaafootball #nfl

The Washington Commanders finally made official what has been expected since the NFL draft: Jayden Daniels is their starting quarterback.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn announced the move Monday, though Daniels, the second overall pick in April, had been working with the first team exclusively in training camp for the past three weeks.

Before that time, Marcus Mariota was usually the first to go in at quarterback, though Daniels would take snaps with the starters in both full-team work and 7-on-7 drills.
