Baltimore, MD – Lamar Jackson Praises Rookie Jayden Daniels Following Close Win
In a thrilling matchup in Week 6, the Baltimore Ravens narrowly defeated the Washington Commanders 30-23. Despite the loss, Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels caught the attention of Ravens star Lamar Jackson, who shared his admiration for the young signal-caller’s performance.
The Commanders made a bold move earlier this year when they selected Daniels with the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Now, just a few games into his rookie season, Daniels is already proving the Commanders made the right choice. He has transformed their offense into a formidable unit, full of energy and excitement.
During the matchup against the Ravens, Daniels displayed impressive skills, nearly leading his team to victory against a squad often viewed as a potential Super Bowl contender. Jackson took notice, stating, “No, I believe [Daniels] deserves all the hype he’s getting. He played a tremendous game out there. They just came up short. He’s been proving it.”
With a current record of 4-2, the Commanders find themselves leading the NFC East, despite facing tough competition. Daniels’ performance in the game against the Ravens was pivotal, and statistics reflect his strong start. In six games, he has completed 125 of 166 passes, achieving a completion rate of 75.3% and throwing for 1,404 yards, along with six touchdowns and only two interceptions.
Daniels has become a significant player to watch as he continues to impress fans and analysts alike. Many are already considering him a top contender for the 2024 Rookie of the Year award, as he keeps defying the odds and leading the Commanders with poise and skill.
With the NFL season still in full swing, it will be exciting to see how both Jackson and Daniels perform as the battle for the playoffs heats up.
