The Washington Commanders selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels Thursday with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Leading up to the draft, Daniels was rumored to be the franchise's favorite signal-caller and the prospect most poised to take on the starting role. Asked a few times about speculation that he doesn’t want to play for Washington and whether he prefers going to another team, Daniels understandably took a diplomatic approach one day before the NFL draft."I’m blessed to go wherever I’m called," Daniels told the Associated Press Wednesday.
"Obviously, his track record with mobile quarterbacks speaks for itself," Daniels said. "I’ve been familiar with Kliff."In 2023, Daniels led the LSU tigers to a 10-3 record and was the winner of the Heisman Trophy becoming the third player in LSU history to win the Heisman, joining Joe Burrow and Billy Cannon . He threw for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and rushed for 1,134 yards with 10 rushing touchdowns.
