In Jayden Daniels, experts believe Washington has picked up a player who has all the makings of a franchise quarterback 

The Commanders have been in dire need of an answer at quarterback, not just for the last few months, but for the better part of two decades spanning three team names.

The Washington Commanders have their quarterback of the future, taking LSU signal-caller Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. Here's how social media reacted to the news.

The Washington Commanders have drafted LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Here are five things to know about the team's newest signal-caller. 

Daniels, who started his college career at Arizona State before transferring to LSU, completed 65% of his passes for 12,749 yards with 89 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. Daniels also adds dynamic ability as a runner, ranking first among quarterbacks in 2023 with 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns.  

After months of speculation, the 2024 NFL Draft is here, and by the time the weekend is done, the Washington Commanders will have nine new players on their roster.

For his family, news of this decision feels even more special than many of the other impressive accomplishments on the legend's resume.  

Green, a seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro, member of the Commanders Ring of Fame and 1996 Walter Payton Man of the Year, will have his jersey retired during the 2024 season. He joins Sonny Jurgensen (No. 9), Bobby Mitchell (No. 49), Sammy Baugh (No. 33) and Sean Taylor (No. 21) as the only Washington players to receive the honor.

Mariota has worn a No. 8 jersey for most of his career. He chose to be the first quarterback in NFL history to wear a zero on his uniform, and there are a few reasons why.

The Commanders have several paths they can take when they're on the clock. The challenge, and fun part, for Peters and his staff is picking the right one. Luckily for them, they feel like they're set up to take any they want.
