Jayden Daniels stats today vs. Eagles: How Commanders star's performance compares to other rookie QBs in title game

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels became just the sixth rookie quarterback to make it to a conference championship game in NFL history. His rookie performance was one for the ages, and many wondered if he had the best rookie season of all-time. Daniels led Washington to a 12-5 record in the regular season before wins over the Buccaneers and Lions in the playoffs.

While the dual-threat quarterback played well in the championship game vs. the Eagles , his team couldn't stop the run and his offensive teammates couldn't stop turning the ball over. Even though Daniels joined the rest of the rookie quarterbacks in history to never make it to a Super Bowl, let's compare his stats to those of his peers who made conference title games as rookies.

Daniels' worst sequence came in the fourth quarter when Washington was trailing big.

He first took a sack, then threw a deep pass that was picked off in the end zone. Overall, Daniels played well, and the Commanders certainly look like they have found their franchise quarterback.
