Washington Commanders ' rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is currently in the middle of a historic playoff run. The rookie phenom leads the NFL Playoffs in passing yards, completions and touchdowns, and has not once surrendered the football. He currently has the Commanders in the NFC Championship for the first time in 33 years.

Wilson is responsible for perhaps the most surprisingly good season for a rookie QB. A third-round pick, he wasn't even expected to be the starter heading into the season with the Seahawks having just signed Matt Flynn to a lucrative deal. But Wilson blew everyone away in training camp and won the job prior to Week 1.

Daniels, the dual-threat dynamo behind the Washington Commanders ’ rapid turnaround, and Nix, whose steady playmaking turned the Denver Broncos into one of the league’s biggest surprises, are only the fourth pair of rookie quarterbacks to make the playoffs in the same season after serving as full-time starters.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn celebrated rookie QB Jayden Daniels as a 'rare competitor' after Saturday's huge upset win in Detroit.

Daniels threw two touchdown passes to lead the Commanders to a win at Tampa Bay, becoming the fourth rookie quarterback in the SB era to win a road playoff start.

The former LSU standout, who has been turning heads all season, delivered a stellar performance. Daniels finished the game with a 122.9 passer rating. His play was highlighted by completing 22 of 31 passes for 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and zero picks.

When the Commanders drafted Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick last April, the hope was that he'd help the team go back to being a contender in the NFC in the years to come. That hope was misguided because it only took a few months for Daniels to change the fortunes of the franchise.

In NFL history, just 11 rookie quarterbacks have won a playoff game, with Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez and Brock Purdy winning two in their first seasons. Additionally, no rookie quarterback has ever started in the Super Bowl, which gives Daniels and Nix an opening to make history.
