Jayden Daniels fell just short of making the Super Bowl in his rookie season, but the Washington Commanders’ star quarterback is sending a Virginia Marine to the big game.

Daniels signed his rookie contract after being selected by the Commanders with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. They agreed to a fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $37,746,650 that saw Daniels collect a generous $24,272,108 signing bonus.

Jayden Daniels said he woke up feeling sick Monday morning. Actually, the Commanders were at the Ashburn facility cleaning out their lockers, and Daniels was asked what he felt when he woke up that morning.
