The Washington Commanders have made a bold move by selecting former Heisman-winning QB Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, with the intention of him becoming the franchise’s future quarterback. Head coach Dan Quinn has hinted that Daniels would be the perceived starter for the team in their opening game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Quinn confirmed on Tuesday that Daniels would be the team’s QB1 on the first unofficial depth chart, with the rookie set to start in their preseason matchup against the New York Jets. The Commanders also revealed Brandon Coleman as the starting left tackle, showing promise in their offensive line.
While Daniels is expected to lead the team, it was surprising to see second-year cornerback Emmanuel Forbes listed as a backup. The upcoming preseason game will give the team a chance to showcase their skills and fight for roster spots.
