The Commanders held a private workout with LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels just one day after he visited the team alongside four other top quarterback prospects. This has fueled speculation that Daniels may not be interested in playing for the Commanders, as his agent, Ron Butler, reposted a PFT Live clip with a thinking emoji. There have been no reports of any other private workouts with Daniels, and the decision to bring in four top quarterbacks on the same day has sparked discussion among fans and analysts about the team’s draft strategy.
Even before these events, there was already speculation that the Commanders may not ultimately choose Daniels with the second overall pick. The team’s options could include trading out of the spot or selecting another player. If there were any indications that Daniels did not have a strong desire to be the team’s next quarterback, it could influence their decision on draft day. However, it is unclear whether this is the case based on Butler’s cryptic social media post.
The upcoming draft will reveal whether Daniels is their choice at No. 2 or if they opt for another quarterback. The direction of the quarterback draft remains uncertain, but all will be revealed in just one week. With so much at stake for both Daniels and the Commanders, this decision carries significant weight for both parties involved.
