Where would you rank Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels ahead of the 2025 season?
The Commanders’ star is coming off the greatest rookie quarterback season in NFL history, and some have argued that it may be the best rookie season in American professional sports history. Daniels was that good. Not only were his statistics as a passer and runner terrific, but he led the franchise to its best season in 33 years. The Commanders went 12-5 and won two playoff road games before falling in the NFC championship game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s important to note that Daniels led Washington to a come-from-behind Week 16 win over the Eagles, throwing five touchdowns against the NFL’s No. 1 defense.
Training camp is one month away, and we are just under three months away from Week 1. Fox Sports recently unveiled its quarterback stock market, and Daniels came in at No. 6.
The first act was incredible. He was the Offensive Rookie of the Year and he appeared in the NFC Championship Game. He might regress, if only because of how much he achieved. But it’ll be important to keep in perspective how good he is, even if he’s just below where he finished last year.
The five quarterbacks ahead of Daniels?
-
1. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
-
2. Joe Burrow, Bengals
-
3. Josh Allen, Bills
-
4. Lamar Jackson, Ravens

5. Jalen Hurts, Eagles
Remember, this is a quarterback stock market, not necessarily a ranking of the best quarterbacks. If Daniels repeats last season’s success or gets even better, there will be no debating his place among the top five in any and all quarterback rankings.
