Games don't count for another few weeks, but the Washington Commanders have to see what they liked out of Jayden Daniels in his preseason debut Saturday.

The second overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft faced a third-and-6 against the New York Jets, and his first pro completion was a gorgeous 42-yard fade route to Dyami Brown down the right sideline:

Daniels only played the opening series and finished 2-for-3 for 45 yards, and also scored the opening touchdown of the game from three yards out. Daniels' other completion was a three-yarder to Terry McLaurin.

Under new head coach Dan Quinn, the Commanders are orienting things around Daniels' skill set on offense. It's early, but the returns aren't bad.
