Washington’s Commanders are gearing up for training camp with a new roster, featuring mostly players in their first season with the team. Coach Dan Quinn emphasized the excitement that comes with new beginnings, stating that the team is eager to build new relationships and embrace the freshness of the upcoming season. Quarterback Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the draft, is one of the key players to watch. While expected to be the season opener starter, Daniels has not been officially named as the No. 1 quarterback at the start of camp. With several other quarterbacks drafted in the first round, the Commanders are taking a cautious approach to Daniels’ development, ensuring that he is fully prepared before stepping into the starting role.
In an effort to keep Daniels motivated, Quinn has refrained from naming any player as a starter at this stage. General manager Adam Peters stressed the importance of taking a long-term view while also focusing on immediate success. The team is prioritizing the development of all players and is committed to building a strong foundation for sustained success in the league. As the Commanders prepare for the upcoming season, they are focused on each player’s progress and are dedicated to maximizing their potential on the field.
