Quarterback Jayden Daniels will strap on a burgundy-and-gold helmet for the first time at Washington Commanders rookie minicamp Friday. The three-day event features limited on-field work as first-year players adapt to their new team.
The team and fans will zero in on Daniels after he throws his first pass at the Commanders’ Ashburn, Virginia, training facility. Videos of his first time on the practice field will be posted on social media and shared thousands of times. The footage will appear on TV. Armchair analysts will pick apart the No. 2 pick’s throwing motion and body language.
Rookie minicamp is an orientation for new players as their first major event at the team facility. The rookies will receive tablets stocked with game footage, plus playbooks to prepare them for their first NFL season. Washington’s top draft picks aren’t the only ones looking to make a strong impression this weekend. The Commanders signed 11 undrafted players last month, including former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman. The Commanders gave Hartman a $225,000 base salary guarantee and a $20,000 signing bonus last month.
“It’s more about the play style and the vision of how to feature players into that play style,” Quinn said at his introductory press conference. “One of the things that I love about coaching is finding unique traits that a player has and then how could we fit them into a system.” Peters is rebuilding a roster on a team that went 4-13 in 2023. The Commanders laid the groundwork for a fresh start this offseason; the front office added 20 rookies and a slew of veteran free agents.
