"Gonna be a lot like Stroud's sophomore year": NFL fans react to Jayden Daniels in new jersey heading into year 2

Jayden Daniels is all decked out and ready to go for his second season with the Washington Commanders. The NFL's X account uploaded the first look at the Commanders' new jersey featuring the quarterback.

"Year 2 on deck for QB1," the NFL tweeted on Thursday.

It got mixed reactions from fans. While some were excited to see Daniels call the shots again next season, some said he will flop.

"Gonna be a lot like strouds sophomore year," a fan wrote.

"Year 2 loading, Still can’t throw a pass without Mom checking who it’s to," another fan wrote.

"Sophomore slump loading," one fan commented.

Commanders fans are looking forward to see what Daniels would bring to the table next season.

"Let’s eat this season up! Year 2 finna be a movie," a fan said.

"He’s gonna have even better help on the other side of the ball this year too. Excited to see him ball out, along with some of the new defensive prospects the commanders have picked up," one fan tweeted.

I’ve been a fan since 1980 and what I witnessed last season was amazing. What I’m finally anticipating this season is even better," another fan wrote.

Former NFL star Terron Armstead has a lot of faith in Jayden Daniels

The Washington Commanders selected Jayden Daniels at No. 2 in 2024. The quarterback had a successful season, recording 3,568 yards and 25 touchdown passes. His efforts helped the Commanders reach the NFL championship game.

Former NFL star Terron Armstead was recently asked which sophomore quarterback he would trust to lead him to victory in the 2025 campaign. Without hesitation, Armstead named Daniels over Bo Nix and Caleb Williams.

"You just said it, Jayden Daniels," Armstead said on Tuesday, via the NFL Network. "It's easy. Sorry guys, I got to him first. He's so poised. He's just, he's in control. So those late game situations, he's never rattled. I was so impressed watching him against the Detroit Lions in the playoffs.

"It's just the way he orchestrated and handled the pressure he noted coming against the number one seed in Detroit, and he was just unfazed. I want him with the ball in his hands late in the game."

Getting praise from a five-time Pro Bowler is a boost to the morale of the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year. It'll be interesting to see how far Daniels takes the Commanders next season.
