The Commanders hit the jackpot in last year's draft, selecting Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick.
He instantly shined with the team, leading the Commanders to their first NFC Championship game since they won the Super Bowl during the 1991 season.
While impressive, it's not uncommon for a rookie quarterback to dominate the league. It's been done before, and now the question remains whether Daniels can continue this excellence in year two.
Opposing teams will have a full season of film to study, potentially making it more difficult during his sophomore campaign. The most recent example of this was with C. J. Stroud. The Texans' quarterback struggled in his second season after a great rookie year. Will Daniels avoid a sophomore slump?
