Jayden Daniels has quickly risen as one of the NFL’s most intriguing young stars and is now being discussed as a potential MVP contender for the 2025 season. Following an impressive rookie campaign with the Washington Commanders, Daniels has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the league.
Daniels’ first year in the NFL saw him lead the Commanders to a 12-win season and two playoff victories, earning him the Offensive Rookie of the Year title. His poise and ability to perform under pressure have helped position him as a dark horse MVP candidate. With an upgraded roster, including the additions of Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil, Daniels is poised to build on his early success.

Analysts have highlighted Daniels’ potential to ascend to the top tier of quarterbacks, especially with the stability he now enjoys in Washington’s offensive system. His combination of athleticism, accuracy, and leadership sets him apart from many of his peers. If the Commanders make another deep playoff run, Daniels’ MVP case could gain significant traction.
The MVP race remains competitive, with established stars like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson dominating the conversation. However, Daniels’ youthful energy and rapid development make him a compelling candidate to challenge the league’s elite. His ability to adapt and improve will be crucial in keeping pace with the seasoned veterans.
NFL Analysis Names Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels as an MVP Contender

Daniels has emerged as one of the leading candidates to win MVP in the upcoming season. This is detailed more in an analysis by Judy Battista for the league’s official website.
He might not even be that much of a dark horse. Daniels got a handful of fourth- and fifth-place votes last season, in which he was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year. With an improved offensive line, the addition of Deebo Samuel and a year of NFL experience under his belt, Daniels is positioned to ascend to the top tier of quarterbacks. If he does, and if the Commanders make another playoff push, Daniels will get plenty of attention.
Washington’s faith in Daniels is evident, and the Commanders have built a team designed to maximize his strengths. The upcoming season is an opportunity for him to solidify his place among the NFL’s best. Consistency and standout performances will be key to his MVP aspirations.

Daniels’ journey from promising rookie to MVP contender continues to captivate fans and analysts alike. With the tools around him and his determination to succeed, 2025 could be the year he takes the leap into NFL superstardom.
