Jayden Daniels has been such a revelation for the Washington Commanders this early into the season. Turns out, the wide receiver Davante Adams revealed that Las Vegas Raiders wanted the rookie quarterback in the draft earlier this year.
After an impressive victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, Commanders fans are buzzing with excitement about Daniels. His performance in Week 3 showcased his growth and potential, drawing comparisons to former star Robert Griffin III.
Daniels exhibited significant improvement in reading defenses and progressing through his options. Unlike his earlier games, he demonstrated a willingness to stay in the pocket and make thoughtful passes, achieving an impressive 91% completion rate. This included deep connections with wide receiver Terry McLaurin, signaling a strong rapport between the two.
While Daniels’ rushing stats—12 carries for 39 yards—may not seem remarkable, his ability to extend plays and make crucial first downs highlighted his athleticism. His knack for keeping his eyes downfield while scrambling is an encouraging sign for the Commanders’ offensive scheme.

Just recently, Davante Adams was interviewed by Up & Adams’ Kay Adams. As seen in a video posted on Bleacher Report, the Raiders wide receiver revealed how the franchise wanted to land Daniels in the NFL Draft this year.

Adams recently revealed that the Raiders had a strong interest in Daniels during the NFL Draft. His revelation puts a spotlight on the rookie’s potential and the high expectations surrounding him.

As he continues to develop in the league, the Raiders’ interest may serve as motivation for Daniels to prove himself as a top-tier quarterback. His future looks bright as he seeks to fulfill those expectations, even though it cost Las Vegas the chance to have him in the lineup.
