Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Describes How Virtual Reality Helps Him
The Washington Commanders invested their No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. After learning virtual reality played a big role in his improving to the heights of winning the Heisman Trophy last season it shouldn't be a big surprise that managing partner Josh Harris decided to invest in a little of that technology as well. Appearing on All Facts No Brakes with Keyshawn Johnson the new Commanders quarterback said the team has already purchased the equipment necessary for him to continue using the tool, and also took time to further explain how it helps him prepare for game day.

Expert Commentary
The Commanders got their quarterback, but it's fair to wonder if they took the right guy here. Jayden Daniels blossomed in his fifth and final year of college football, taking home the Heisman Trophy in a dazzling season for LSU. Daniels is on the older side and doesn't have elite physical tools as a passer, but is going to be an immediate asset in the run game. Drake Maye feels like a better pick, but time will tell. Regardless, the Commanders desperately needed a quarterback and they got one.

Love this pick for the Commanders. Newton has had some struggles with a foot injury over the past few months, but he’s as talented as they come for interior pressure players. He’s got a wide repertoire of pass-rush moves and if his foot is good to go, he and Jonathan Allen will wreck heads for Dan Quinn’s defense.

Shout out to the 2024 All-Juice Team! The Commanders grabbed a stud prospect to play in the slot for them. Sainristil is a competitive force who's not afraid to come downhill and hit people in the mouth. He’s got pretty solid chops in man coverage too. Nice pickup.

Sinnott is a quality tight end prospect that should round out a solid skill group for Jayden Daniels in his first year. It’s not the sexiest pick, but it’s a pick that will help the Commanders on offense.

This is a bit early for Coleman, but hard to get too mad at taking an offensive lineman with good movement skills in the third round. The Commanders at least got some developable depth here.

Random as hell. McCaffrey had a solid final season in college football, so maybe this works, but it's hard to see where he fits in with the Commanders. Weird pick.
