Video: Tom Brady Picks Jayden Daniels as His NFL OROY After Commanders Breakout

NFL fans will soon find out who this season's Offensive Rookie of the Year is, but legendary quarterback Tom Brady revealed his pick for the prestigious award on Wednesday.

Brady's pick isn't that surprising. He took Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, who had one of the best seasons by a rookie quarterback in recent memory.

"If you lead your team to the NFC Championship, it's hard to make a case for anyone else," Brady said. "Jayden Daniels is my Offensive Rookie of the Year... Jayden has a rare confidence and poise under pressure at such a young age. Jayden's going to have a great offseason and I'm excited to see what he comes up with in Year 2."

Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft out of LSU, threw for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions this year. He added 891 rushing yards—the most ever by a rookie quarterback—and six touchdowns on the ground.

What's just as impressive is that Daniels' stats led to wins.

The Commanders finished the regular season 12-5, recording their most wins since 1991. In the playoffs, Daniels led Washington past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round before upsetting the Detroit Lions in the divisional round. While the Commanders ultimately came up short of reaching the Super Bowl, they far exceeded expectations after last year's 4-13 finish.

The NFL Honors take place on Thursday, but it's fair to assume Daniels will be named Offensive Rookie of the Year given his historically good season.
