Meanwhile, other fans compared Jayden Daniels to San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy, who signed a major contract extension last month and became one of the major stories of the offseason.

"Purdy could never." one fan wrote.

"🔥🔥." one fan wrote.

"Hey, How about giving terry a new contract!" one fan wrote regarding star wide receiver Terry McLaurin entering the final year of his current contract.

Will Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders take the next step in 2025?

Jayden Daniels and the Commanders had a phenomenal 2024, one that culminated in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and the NFC Championship game.

After one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history, Bet365 is projecting that Daniels will continue to build off that remarkable season and have a great campaign in 2025.

At the moment, Daniels has the fifth-best odds (+850) to win NFL MVP next year, only behind Lamar Jackson (+500), Josh Allen (+600), Joe Burrow (+650), and Patrick Mahomes (+650).

Meanwhile, we used Sportskeeda's Playoff Predictor Tool to see where the Commanders would finish in the 2025 regular season. In the simulation, the Commanders took a slight step back this year, finishing with a record of 10-7 after having a record of 12-5 in 2024.

However, that regular season was still good enough for the team to qualify for the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the NFC.
