we got the long awaited news earlier today. Yes, indeed, Jayden Daniels, the number two overall draft pick, is QB1 for the commanders. An expected move it was tipped off. Winds out there as the starting quarterback in the preseason opener. So why was now the right time? Dan Quinn I told you about a month ago that naming our starter at QB wasn't a secret. And it was a process. And when that process was time, I'd know, he'd know, and I'd let you know. And as much as we knew Jayden would get there, Adam and I were most excited about watching how he would. And the how has been absolutely outstanding. He went through the whole thing. He didn't miss a beat, he hit the targets that, you know, we had put in front of him. You know, we talked about the practices against the other teams, the games. So he's ready and he's earned the right to do that. Just a blessing that DK and AP trust me to go out there and lead the team, lead the franchise to hopefully win some games. So, big ups to them. It's a blessing. Something I dreamt about as a kid to be at this moment, to experience this moment, it's nothing I can say too much. Ian, we thought this day was coming from basically the day that the commanders locked in the number two overall pick and took Jayden Daniels, but this does seem to be another indication of what we've heard from Dan Quinn, Adam Peters and others, which is everything Jayden Daniels has done so far is what they expected and more. Now they feel like he is ready. It's go time. He's going to be out there week one. You know, during the pre-draft process, we talk so much about the physical tools and the arm strength and what Jayden Daniels put on tape and how much better it was from the previous years and the athleticism, how fast he is, all of those things, all are very, very important. I remember being there with Mike, actually during training camp, and all the commanders talked about was the presence, how he processes, how well he has done learning the offense, picking it up, recounting it, teaching it to other people, getting in and out of the huddle, the operation, part of being a quarterback, which if you're going to name a starter, if you're going to name a rookie starter, all of that is, I would say, as important, maybe more important than the physical tools. The fact that Jayden Daniels has showed them so much so early reinforces what the Washington commanders think, which is they got a guy in a league, Mike, where either you have a guy or you don't have a guy. The commanders believe that they got a guy, and the fact that he checked off every box as easily as he did, I think makes for a lot more optimism in Washington. Right now than we have seen in a pretty long time. In that day, we were there at training camp, which was relatively early in the camp. Now you had the spring, obviously, but it was early in training camp and you could see how comfortable he was. You could see how comfortable they were with him. I mean, some of the things that they were bragging about, you wouldn't notice just watching on the sideline. They were talking about how he checked to a run the other day and oh my, what a great call it was. And how he saw that. That's exactly what he had to do in that situation. And then for good measure later in that practice, he throws an absolute dime down the sideline to Terry McLaurin on a go ball right over Emmanuel Forbes in the perfect place. So he's showing them everything with his mind with his arm and with his legs as well. And you talked about his presence just in the couple of minutes that he was talking to us. You could see that presence on display. The fact that it didn't really feel like it was too big for him. He's got a quiet confidence about him. So yeah, they wanted to just go through the process, but he kept on checking all these boxes. So let's go. Here we go. The one thing that stood out to me watching back that game that he played, this past weekend, was the play where he scrambles and doesn't get down and takes a hit, and you can see him immediately pop up. Look at Dan Quinn. Quinn's going, you know, he's like, I know, I know, I know. That's one of the biggest things we heard all the way through the process was he's not the biggest guy.
