Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders is placed in the second tier of projected starting quarterbacks ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Following a promising rookie year where he led the team to a 12-5 record and an NFC Championship Game appearance, injuries sidelined him for 10 games in 2025. Consequently, the team finished with a disappointing 5-12 record. CBS ranked him alongside other quarterbacks like Drake Maye and Jalen Hurts in the 'borderline stars' category, hoping he can rebound from last season's challenges. Daniels aims to demonstrate his potential and return to form this season.
