J.J. Watt is aware of a factor or two about quarterbacks, given the truth that he completed his NFL profession with 114.5 sacks, so he spent loads of time chasing them down.
He just lately was very complimentary of the present rookie quarterback class and had particularly excessive reward for one he believes is enjoying like an MVP.
“At this second, Jayden Daniels is enjoying MVP-worthy soccer,” Watt stated on “The Pat McAfee Present.”
Watt added that the Washington Commanders star has finished one thing no participant in NFL historical past has ever finished, posting a 75 % completion proportion, 200 passing yards per recreation and 50 speeding yards per recreation over a seven-game span.
Although that makes Daniels MVP-worthy at this second, Watt acknowledged it’s an extended season, however though the rookie is unlikely to win the award, he has a case given how properly he and the Commanders offense have carried out to this point.
No one anticipated the Commanders to start out 5-2 and lead the NFC East after seven weeks, and Daniels has seemed precisely like the kind of franchise-changing QB the workforce desperately wanted.
Washington has a matchup in opposition to the Chicago Bears in Week 8 in what might be a battle of the No. 1 general choose in opposition to the No. 2 general choose if Daniels is ready to get well from his rib damage in time to swimsuit up.
Daniels left the Week 7 win in opposition to the Carolina Panthers early because of the damage and his standing for this recreation is up within the air.
