What Ravens fans should know about the Commanders

For five weeks, Daniels has been the odds-on favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year and is even earning MVP recognition as the Commanders have won four straight and are atop the NFC East.

Since Kirk Cousins ​​left in 2018, Washington has experienced a revolving door at quarterback, starting 13 different signal-callers, but it looks like Daniels could be the guy. The No. 2 overall pick is off to a historic start, becoming the first player to pass for more than 1,000 yards and rush for more than 250 yards in his first five games.

Daniels, who won the Heisman Trophy at LSU last year, has been compared to Jackson as a dual-threat quarterback, but he isn’t interested in player competition.

“I don’t like it when people try to compare me to Lamar and vice versa. We’re two different players,” Daniels said. “At the end of the day, I want to be known as Jayden Daniels and not the next one or the other.”

Jackson has rejected any comparisons throughout his career and certainly supports Daniels’ way of thinking.

“He’s his own player, [and] “At the end of the day, he’s his own man,” Jackson said. “We’re just trying to make a name for ourselves, not anyone else, so I agree with that – definitely.”
