In Ashburn, Virginia, Jayden Daniels, recently drafted as the Washington Commanders’ second overall pick and poised to lead as their franchise quarterback, acknowledges his journey to professionalism as his primary hurdle. However, his initiation into the NFL comes with an unexpected lesson before his debut throw: canceling a $10,000 bet with former LSU teammate Malik Nabers, now a receiver for the New York Giants, regarding the offensive rookie of the year title.

Daniels, the recipient of the 2023 Heisman Trophy, revealed during the Commanders’ rookie minicamp that both he and Nabers were unaware of the NFL’s gambling regulations. Prompted by recent podcast disclosures, the duo mutually rescinded their bet to avoid potential repercussions. Despite the friendly wager originating from a desire to spur each other toward success, both athletes emphasized their respect for league rules and the need to prioritize their professional reputations.

Reflecting on their decision, Nabers, speaking from the Giants’ rookie minicamp in East Rutherford, New Jersey, underscored the bond of camaraderie between them and their shared pursuit of excellence. Meanwhile, Daniels, focusing on the forthcoming season, expressed gratitude to veteran punter Tress Way for facilitating his acquisition of the No. 5 jersey, symbolic of his collegiate and personal history.

As Daniels embarked on his rookie journey alongside fellow Commanders draft picks, the absence of defensive tackle Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton due to injury was noted. However, the day’s practice sessions allowed Daniels to establish rapport with his new teammates, including tight end Ben Sinnott and receiver Luke McCaffrey, whom he had previously trained with in California. Both Sinnott and McCaffrey praised Daniels’ talent and character, underscoring their excitement for the upcoming season and their collective growth as a team.
