Jayden Daniels has been sensational leading the Washington Commanders to a 4-1 record. In a totally unexpected turn of events, they look ready to fight for the division against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.

Right now, Daniels is clear favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award and, according to many experts, the type of numbers he is putting should be enough for MVP conversation.

However, there’s still a long way to go in the 2024 NFL season and expectations will be higher when you’re compared to stars like Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes. The young quarterback doesn’t want to be part of that debate.

“I don’t like when people try to compare me to Lamar. We are two different players. I want to be known as Jayden Daniels and not the next such and such. I like watching good quarterback play. I’m a fan of his and how he plays the game. But we are two different quarterbacks, two different styles. I appreciate what he’s done for the sport and what he’s done for the African American quarterbacks. For me, it’s just go out there and try to be unique and try to be different from everybody.”
