The Washington Commanders were a major contender in the 2024 season thanks to the breakout rookie year from quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Daniels burst onto the scene early for the Commanders, leading them to a 12-5 record and a playoff berth for the first time since 2020.
ESPN insider John Keim spoke with Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who praised Daniels, but also gave him a bit of a preview of the difficulties he is expected to face going into his second season now that teams can prepare for him better.

"The second year is a big challenge," Reid said. "If you can get through your second year, you got a pretty good thing going."
Daniels knows his career won't be roses and rainbows, but if his rookie year taught people anything, he will be willing to embrace the challenges that come his way.
