Washington Commanders are entering a new era with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick and 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, as their eighth starter in eight seasons.
The team, now under new general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn, has undergone significant changes, particularly on offense and defense. With an improved offensive line and a talented running back duo, the Commanders aim to enhance their performance despite low external expectations.
Key losses include QB Sam Howell and WR Jahan Dotson, but the roster features several newcomers, including QB Marcus Mariota and RB Austin Ekeler, to support Daniels. The success of the season will hinge on the team's adaptability amid these transformations.
