Jaden Daniels enters training camp with a mission to remind people who he truly is after an injury-plagued year two; he wasn't in ESPN's top-10 quarterbacks voted by coaches and executives, not because of talent but because they can't trust him to stay on the field. New offensive coordinator David Blau's main mission is keeping Daniels healthy through more shotgun, bootlegs, play action, and keeping him in the pocket while using his legs safely. Daniels only played seven games last year, and people in Washington want more urgency from him in pre-snap and post-snap progressions. The big question is whether he can find a second weapon outside Terry McLaurin, with speculation about Stefan Diggs or Brandon Ayuk.PositiveProjectionJul 7, 2026
