On Sunday, Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts will come face to face as the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles are set to fight for the right to get to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Before that happens, the Commanders rookie quarterback held a presser with reporters to speak on his mindset before the big game.
Daniels was in the midst of speaking on leaning on veterans on the team that have been in this current position when he gave a curious quote that sounded awfully familiar.
“You know what everybody says: Keep the main thing, the main thing.”
That sounds familiar to sports fans because we have been accustomed to Jalen Hurts saying that exact quote.
Jayden Daniels got called out for it.

Jayden Daniels Could Extend His Record-Setting Rookie Campaign
For the first time since 1991, the Washington Commanders are headed to the NFC Championship game, and they have done so on the back of rookie quarterback sensation Jayden Daniels.
The former LSU product shocked the world with the win over the Detroit Lions, with 299 yards on 22-of-31 passing, with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Now, with a date against their NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles, Daniels has the opportunity to make even more history.
He could become the first rookie QB to start the Super Bowl.
