Like Chicago Bears’ Caleb Williams, a lot of eyes will be on Jayden Williams to see if he’ll be a good fit for the Washington Commanders. Among those who’ll be looking out for his progress this season is Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, a native of the team he’s playing for.
Daniels has generated significant buzz following his selection as the number two pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Analysts predict he could replicate the impressive impact that C.J. Stroud had with the Houston Texans last season. There’s optimism surrounding Daniels, especially regarding his potential to become the team’s MVP, a title many believe could elude fellow rookie Caleb Williams in Chicago.
Daniels is expected to thrive with the support of playmakers like Terry McLaurin. His ability to run effectively could enhance his performance, positioning him as a strong contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Commanders are hopeful that if Daniels remains healthy, he can lead the team to its first winning season since 2016.
Comparatively, while the Bears have a more rounded roster, Daniels’ unique skill set might give him an edge. Analysts suggest that his performance could rejuvenate the football culture in Washington, similar to the excitement generated by Stroud in Houston. The atmosphere around the Commanders is currently filled with positive anticipation as fans look forward to seeing how Daniels will navigate his rookie season.
Kevin Durant’s Blunt Message to Washington Commanders Jayden Daniels About Basketball
Daniels has been known to carry a basketball in public. In an interview with Kay Adams for the Up & Adams Show, Durant claimed the rookie won’t score a single point against him, as seen in a video shared by the NBA star on his official X account.

The Commanders finished last season with a challenging 4-13 record, placing them at the bottom of the NFC East. After facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the season opener, they will return home to take on Daniel Jones and the New York Giants next week, looking to improve their standing and regain momentum in the division.
With expectations high, Daniels is poised to make a significant impact on the franchise, and his success could transform the team’s trajectory moving forward. And even if he won’t do well against Durant on a basketball court, there’s every reason to believe he’ll do better on the field this season.
