Commanders QB Jayden Daniels upsets Eagles’ fans again
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history last fall. Daniels led the Commanders to 12 wins and an appearance in the NFC championship game. Daniels was asked about the toughest cornerback to face, and said he was most looking forward to facing Denver’s Patrick Surtain II in 2025. Surtain won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in only his fourth season.
Washington’s division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, also had an impressive rookie class last season. First-round cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and second-round corner Cooper DeJean led the Eagles’ rookie class. Mitchell finished second in the voting for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
On Saturday at Fanatics Fest in New York City, Daniels was asked about the toughest cornerback to face. He was asked about Mitchell, but said he was most looking forward to facing Denver’s Patrick Surtain II in 2025. Surtain won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in only his fourth season.
Of course, Eagles fans found some way to be disrespected by Daniels’ saying he was most looking forward to facing Surtain. The Commanders will play the Eagles twice, and the Broncos are on Washington’s slate this season.
Why were Philadelphia fans mad? Just read the comments, if you choose. Since the Commanders came back late in the fourth quarter to upset the Eagles in Week 16 last season — a game in which Daniels threw five touchdown passes — Philly fans have had an unhealthy obsession with Daniels. Despite all the Eagles’ success, some Philadelphia fans turn their attention to Daniels, even when he’s not involved.
Why? Because they know Daniels is special. The Commanders having Daniels also means that Washington is no longer a pushover. The old NFC East rivalry is back.
