Commanders Legend Brian Mitchell Praises Jayden Daniels, Says ‘Sky Is the Limit’
In a recent interview, Commanders legend Brian Mitchell expressed his admiration for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, declaring that the young star has already captured the hearts of fans in Washington. The 23-year-old signal-caller is making waves in his first season, leading the Commanders to a strong 4-1 record and positioning the team at the top of the NFC East.
Mitchell, a former All-Pro player and co-host of a D.C.-based sports talk radio show, was impressed not just by Daniels’ on-field performance but also by his maturity. After being selected as the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, Mitchell noted that Daniels has demonstrated a remarkable drive—especially after being officially named the starting quarterback during the summer.
“His potential is enormous, and the sky is the limit for him,” Mitchell said, emphasizing his belief that Daniels has the potential to achieve great things for the team and its fans. He enthusiastically remarked that if Daniels continues to perform at this level, he could become a vital figure in the community, even saying, “He can feed this town from his hands.”
Looking ahead, the Commanders face a significant challenge this Sunday against the Ravens in Baltimore. Despite the tough matchup, Mitchell urged fans to maintain a sense of optimism, citing the newfound energy around the organization due to a change in ownership, alongside the addition of a new quarterback and head coach.
In addition to discussing Daniels, Mitchell shared his thoughts on the NFL’s recent kickoff rule changes, expressing his excitement about the developments in the league this season. As the Commanders prepare for their next game, all eyes will be on Daniels to see if he can continue to live up to the high expectations set before him.
