The Washington Commanders selected quarterback Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft last month, and it sounds like he has already made a strong impression on Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
During a recent press conference, Kliff Kingbury had some high praise for Jayden Daniels following his first snaps during the team’s rookie minicamp. He’s particularly impressed with his focus during practice.
“He’s intentional in everything he does, which I like,” Kingsbury said of Daniels according to Pro Football Talk. “That’s what we had heard about him coming up, and that’s what he’s been since he’s been here. He’s focused, intentional, and got to work. So that’s been fun to be around.”
Kingsbury said that focus permeates into everything he does.
“He has a plan for studying. He has a plan for practice. He has a plan for watching film,” Kingsbury said. “He knows what he wants to be and where he wants to go. To be that young and come in there with that mindset is real encouraging.”
While it’s only been a few days, Kingsbury is clearly happy with what he has seen from Daniels and thinks that he has a high ceiling ahead of him.
“We’ve only had him a couple days, but he works really hard at it,” Kingsbury said. “What I liked most about the college tape was the drastic improvement we saw year in and year out.”
