Jayden Daniels Prepares for First Start with Commanders

Jayden Daniels, the quarterback for the Commanders, is preparing to make his first start since Week 14 of the previous season when he faces the Eagles in Week 1. This game marks his debut under new offensive coordinator David Blough.

As Daniels takes the field, attention will be on his ability to lead the offense, especially as he adjusts to a more traditional style of play. He aims to demonstrate his growth since leading the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game in 2024, despite injuries affecting his performance in 2025.

In a recent interview, Daniels reflected on the need to prove himself, acknowledging that many fans remember him for his injuries rather than his past successes. He expressed a desire to showcase his skills and contribute to the team's future, emphasizing that the overall success of the Commanders will depend on more than just his performance.
