Jayden DanielsQBWAS

Jaden Daniels finished as QB4 in his rookie year with 3,500 passing yards, 25 TDs, 900 rushing yards, and 6 rushing TDs on 75 scrambles (most in NFL) and 62 design rushes. He has top-5 QB upside with the ability to throw deep and run frequently; he showed top-5 catchable ball rate and low turnover-worthy throw rate, demonstrating maturity beyond his years. The source loves Daniels and projects a big season ahead, comparing his deep-throwing ability to Russell Wilson's early-career vibe where he can 'drop it in a bucket deep down the field.' Daniels has the ability to hit on a lot of deep throws and deep touchdowns. He can be acquired later than other QB1 options, and his success depends on new OC David Blau's scheme fit and ability to harness his talents.

Source transcript excerpt
he was a QB4. If you remove week 18... he's passed for 3,500 yards, 25 touchdowns, ran for almost 900 yards rushing and six touchdowns on the ground. He had 75 scrambles, which was most in the NFL in 2024... he's going to throw the ball deep. He's going to run a lot. Uh, he has a chance to be a top five quarterback... I love Jaden Daniels. I think he's in for a big season.
