NFL Exec Eyes Jayden Daniels MVP Bid in 2025, Says He Has 'Generational' Potential

One NFL executive believes that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will make an MVP run in 2025.

"He's scary," an NFC executive told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "He's never rattled and elevates everyone around him. I hate to use the word 'generational,' but it really looks like he's that."

A 2025 MVP season wouldn't be a surprise whatsoever, especially given Daniels' transformative impact on the Commanders as a rookie.

The No. 2 overall draft pick has led the Commanders to a 12-5 season and an NFC Championship Game appearance. It's a remarkable accomplishment for many reasons, but the biggest may be that Washington was 3-13-1 the year before his arrival.

The Commanders have quadrupled their win total and are now in the NFC title game for the first time since their last Super Bowl-winning season (1991). Washington has also won two playoff games in a single season for the first time since that campaign as well.

Daniels has been sensational, completing 69.0 percent of his passes for 25 touchdowns (nine interceptions) and 3,568 yards while earning Pro Bowl honors. He's also rushed for 891 yards and six scores.

In the playoffs, Daniels has led Washington to upset victories on the road over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions, accounting for 567 yards and four touchdowns.

Now he's hoping to guide Washington to the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles stand in the way right now, though. Kickoff is slated for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field.
