Report: The Washington Commanders key player is been suspended from all sports for placing a bets against…..
The upcoming rookie class of quarterbacks should be incredibly intriguing to follow. Headlined by Caleb Williams — the consensus best player in the draft — there is some depth and potential breakout quarterbacks from the class.
Washington Commanders No. 2 overall pick and new potential franchise quarterback, Jayden Daniels, is going to rival Williams as the best signal-caller from the recent draft.
CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso ranked the top five NFL rookie quarterbacks based on potential production in their first season in the league.
There was one surprise pick, as New Orleans Saints’ Spencer Rattler was ranked No. 5. Beyond that, it was a pretty standard list.
Naturally, Daniels was ranked No. 2 on the list, trailing just Williams.
This comes as no shock, as Williams was understood to be the top pick since winning the Heisman in his second season in college football.
Daniels is coming off a Heisman victory himself, though, and will lobby as the top rookie quarterback and potential Offensive Rookie of the Year.
“I teetered back-and-forth with the No. 1 spot, but Daniels does ultimately finish precisely how the draft went a few months ago.
He may have a higher rookie ceiling than Williams mostly based on the fact that he could be chasing more leads than his NFC rookie quarterback counterpart,” Trapasso wrote.
One thing that could hold Daniels back in his first season is the offensive line.
While there are bright spots — like right guard Sam Cosmi — it’s still questionable in year one for Daniels.
Keeping him upright and allowing him time to find his receivers will be key to him finding his rhythm early on in the season.
