Ravens rookie Ja’Kobi Lane prefers Tyler Huntley over Jayden Daniels

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane publicly stated a preference for backup quarterback Tyler Huntley over Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. The comments occurred during a conversation with Commanders rookie Antonio Williams as the NFL prepares for the 2026 season. Lane described Huntley as a choice he would make over Daniels while discussing dual-threat quarterbacks. Critics noted that Huntley serves as a career backup and has not held a full-time starting role in the NFL. Conversely, Daniels started for the Commanders in 2024 and 2025, though his recent tenure included injury-related absences. Statistical comparisons show Daniels recording more passing yards and touchdowns than Huntley during comparable seven-game stretches from their respective careers.
