After what CJ Stroud accomplished in his first season with the Houston Texans, not many people thought there would be a quarterback to come in and replicate what he did.
Jayden Daniels was close to doing it.
Through 16 games, Daniels has completed 325 of his 468 passing attempts (69.4 percent) for 3,530 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.
Stroud’s first year was one for the ages. He finished his rookie season completing 63.9% of his passes for 4,108 yards with 23 touchdowns to five interceptions for a 100.8 passer rating.
He also led the league in pass yards per game (273.8). He led the Texans to a division win and a playoff victory in the wild-card round. He also won Offensive Rookie of The Year.
Jayden Daniels cannot win the division, but the Commanders are headed to the postseason.
