Austin Ekeler: I see more development from Jayden Daniels, we

Running back Austin Ekeler signed up with the Commanders last season, but he wasn’t the brand-new addition that leapt off the screen when viewing Washington games.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels took those honors on his way to winning offensive rookie of the year and jolting life into a team that had not won a playoff game in nearly twenty years. They won 2 of them last season before losing to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game and that success raises the bar heading into 2025.

During an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Ekeler said that Daniels “definitely gone beyond expectations” for a novice since of just how much is involved with learning both a new offense and how to bet expert challengers. Ekeler thinks Daniels will play much faster mentally with a year under his belt and that sets the phase for another advance in Washington.

“I believe there’s even going to be more development this year, which is amazing since of where we’re at with our group and have a great deal of players back. A great deal of playmakers, got ta get Terry [McLaurin] paid and after that, guy, we’re gon na look like a powerhouse out there,” Ekeler said.The McLaurin contract deadlock has the prospective to interrupt the team’s preparations for the 2025 season, so settling that would be a great way to guarantee that the group prevents any backward actions after their unanticipated increase last year.
