When the Washington Commanders selected Jayden Daniels with the second pick in the NFL Draft back in April, they expected big things. Even the most optimistic person in their front office, though, has to be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the rookie quarterback acclimated to the league. A spectacular debut campaigned continued on Sunday night as the Daniels drove the Commanders down the field on the opening possession of overtime and found Zach Ertz from two yards for a score that clinched a playoff spot for Washington. It was the biggest game and biggest possession of Daniels's professional career and yet he remained unflappable—as he has many times before this season.
The victorious quarterback joined Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter where he shared his mindset when the spotlight gets brightest.
