The Washington Commanders are riding high in the first year with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
After a thrilling overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on “Sunday Night Football,” the Commanders quarterback decided to go out and be entertained by other athletes.
On Monday night, Daniels was spotted in attendance at the New York Knicks-Washington Wizards game in D.C.
The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner was sitting courtside with his mother.
As cameras trained on the both of them courtside for a quick video, Jayden Daniels could be seen with his phone near his ear while his mother was turned to him.
Soon, the young quarterback would drop his phone and acknowledge the camera while watching the game.
