<\/p>\nOn the Saturday ahead of the NFL Draft, ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler explained why rumors about\u00a0Jayden Daniels\u2018 hesitance with the Commanders could have some legitimacy.<\/p>\n
Fowler joined SportsCenter to break down a bevy of NFL Draft prospects and had some interesting info on the guy long seen as the likely pick at No. 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cA ton of interest going Jayden Daniels\u2019 way, why not, he\u2019s a Heisman winner, but some questions about Daniels\u2019 interest in going to Washington. What can you tell us on that front\u201d Fowler was asked when on SC.<\/p>\n
He admitted that you can\u2019t rule out the possibility of Daniels actually not wanting to go to Washington, even though most folks still expect he gets selected there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, there\u2019s a little bit of smoke there,\u201d said Fowler. \u201cSo, people I talk to with the Commanders and other teams, they do believe Daniels is the favorite to be the pick at No. 2. Nothing set in stone of course, it is the draft. But I\u2019m talking to somebody close with Daniels who believes that he has at least openly wondered about his options.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniels has other teams in mind, but in the NFL Draft, it\u2019s just hard to imagine how he escapes those top three teams, barring a trade, per Fowler.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has had interest in playing for the Raiders, who pick 13th and probably can\u2019t get high enough to pick him.\u201d<\/p>\n
To cap off the conversation, Jeremy Fowler said that he\u2019s ultimately not sure what\u2019s going on in the mind of Jayden Daniels, but at the very least, he doesn\u2019t appear to be embracing Washington too warmly in the lead up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t confirm that he doesn\u2019t want to play for Washington, but it hasn\u2019t been an easy smooth process for whatever reason so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
These rumors started when a coworker of Fowler\u2019s, NFL insider Adam Schefter, shared on the Pat McAfee Show that perhaps the Heisman winner wasn\u2019t too fond of the D.C. area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe signs point to Jayden Daniels, which they do, and the Commanders are going through it after this week, when again, I think it\u2019s a situation where from the outset, Jayden Daniels has had an interest in being other places,\u201d Schefter said on PMS.<\/p>\n
However,\u00a0Schefter said\u00a0the other day that Daniels had come to the realization that he has no choice in the draft and is \u201cprepared to go wherever he\u2019s drafted.\u201d He added that \u201cmost people still believe it continues to be No. 2 to the Washington Commanders.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, it does appear that if Washington selects him, then Jayden Daniels will report to training camp with no questions asked. However, perhaps the Commanders see Daniels\u2019 attitude towards coming to the team and would rather take a different QB that\u2019s shown more commitment to the franchise in the pre-draft process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
