'All Aboard!' Former Commander Jumps On Jayden Daniels Hype Train

Washington Commanders training camp has been brimming with excitement with the play of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. This year’s No. 2 overall pick has impressed in workouts, and in his first start of the preseason last week.

This week, the Commanders take on the Miami Dolphins, and in preparation for that game, the two teams held joint practices this week. Following the sessions, former Commanders corner Kendall Fuller, who now plays for Miami, jumped on the Daniels hype train.

“I haven't watched the tape yet, but how Jayden Daniels carries himself,” Fuller said, “he looks like a pro. He looks like he has an edge. He looks like he trusts in his ability a lot. Even just looking on YouTube, social media, I heard about him checking a play in the first preseason game.”

News is spreading far and wide about the decision-making, accuracy and leadership that Daniels has exuded since he first talked into the building back in June. His legend is growing.

“To be able to have that confidence as a rookie to go out there and play football, 'cause at the end of the day, a lot of the time we rely on Xs and Os, and sometimes you've just gotta play football,” Fuller said. “So, I'm excited to compete against him on Saturday and hope he has a great future and enjoys it a lot.”

Fuller was originally drafted by Washington in the third round back in 2016. He has spent six of his eight pro seasons with the Commanders with a pair of seasons with the Chiefs in 2018-2019.

He signed as a free agent with Miami in the offseason as the Commanders began rebuilding their franchise.
