Commanders’ Jayden Daniels Shines in Joint Practice vs. Dolphins in Front of a Star-Studded Audience
Daniels completed 11 of 13 passes and threw four touchdowns as he quickly built chemistry with new receiver Stefon Diggs.
- On Wednesday, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels faced the Miami Dolphins in Ashburn, VA during a joint practice at BigBear.ai Performance Center before a crowd including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and rapper Wale.
- Daniels has spent the offseason learning Coordinator David Blough's system, which features traditional formations under center—a shift from the shotgun-heavy scheme he ran previously. Nearly all his 11-on-11 snaps came from under center on Wednesday.
- In 1-on-1 drills, the quarterback completed 11 of 13 passes with touchdowns to Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, and Treylon Burks. Diggs, signed last week for up to $12 million, was a frequent target throughout.
- Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw shouted, "Shoutout 5, man," praising the quarterback. Although the Commanders offense dominated, the Dolphins defense secured a late stop during a two-minute drill, reminding the team of room for growth.
- After throwing a 70-yard touchdown pass to Burks, Daniels emphasized ongoing development. "I still got some ways to go," he said, noting the team continues building chemistry and continuity for the upcoming season.
