Jayden Daniels knew.
Back in July of 2014 when he was just 13 years old, the future Washington Commanders quarterback sent out a tweet with a bold declaration: “One day you guys gonna here [sic] my name everywhere.”
LET’S NOT BRING IN MARCUS MARIOTA ANYMORE: That trick play was a dud!
Well, it’s January of 2025. Daniels just led the Commanders to a huge upset win over the Detroit Lions. He just, as my colleague Robert Zeglinski wrote, cemented the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history.
So, yeah. Daniels called it. We have the receipts. He was right, and anyone who doubted him then, now or beyond can look at this and doubt no more.
One day you guys gonna here my name everywhere😈💯💯💯🏈
