Jayden Daniels is among the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. He won the Heisman Trophy in his final college season with the LSU Tigers. This put him firmly on the radar of NFL teams seeking a quarterback near the top of the draft.
One of the teams most closely connected with Daniels is the Washington Commanders, who currently own the second-overall pick. They recently hosted him for a workout to fully analyze him, but they also invited three other quarterbacks to be there on the same day.
NFL Insider Adam Schefter recently commented on the Commanders' strange approach to this situation during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. He mentioned that Daniels was also not particularly pleased with not being given a private workout.
"Jayden Daniels was not particularly enthralled to be in a speed dating group of quarterbacks. I think that he thought that it would be basically by himself," Schefter said.

"He thought that just he would be going in there, and before the visit, found out that Michael Penix Jr is going in, Drake Maye is going in, and JJ McCarthy is going in. And so, the dynamics change.
"In this case, by the sense of Ron Butler's emjois, I don't think that Jayden was particularly pleased with how that was handled."
Schefter mentioned Ron Butler, who is Daniels' agent, sharing an emoji on X in response to the Commanders hosting multiple quarterbacks on the same day. The post included no text, just the "thinking face" emoji.
Most teams choose to host quarterbacks for private workouts, especially those evaluating quarterbacks in the first few picks. This makes it particularly strange.
