When it comes to narratives on rookie quarterbacks things have certainly changed. Just a little over a decade ago rookie signal callers were regarded as a liability and more or less a write-off on your playoff chances outside of the rare unicorn like Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan.

Going into this year there seems to be a consensus in NFL circles on one player who could give teams some serious trouble right away, and that player is Washington’s newest playmaker Jayden Daniels.
