​Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has a lot to prove in year three. He took the league by storm in 2024, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors on the way to taking the Commanders to their first NFC Championship appearance in decades.Then there was the 2025 season. The Commanders struggled as a whole, largely due to injuries, and Daniels was no exception. He appeared in just seven games in 2025, and the Commanders won just five games that season. He’s healthy now, though, and the Commanders are putting 2025 behind them as they look ahead to 2026.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThere are still plenty of questions surrounding Daniels and the Commanders, but that isn’t stopping NFL analysts from including him in their rankings. Pro Football Sports Network recently released its top-100 players list, and Daniels landed at No. 88.As good as his 2024 rookie year was, 2025 was a disaster for Jayden Daniels. Much of that came from his durability issues; over the course of the regular season, he sprained his knee, injured his hamstring, and dislocated his elbow. Playing through all that pain, he dropped from the No. 7 quarterback in PFN QB Impact Scoring in 2024 down to No. 27 in 2025.Though his sophomore year didn’t live up to the hype, Daniels makes the list because of how fantastic his rookie season was. He threw for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, and a 69.0% completion percentage while also tallying 891 rushing yards. He looked like an elite dual-threat quarterback in the making two years ago. Now, it’s just a matter of getting back on track.Had Daniels not been injured and missed most of 2025, he likely would have been ranked higher on this list. The NFL’s top-100 players list (as voted on by the players themselves) is still being released. Daniels hasn’t been mentioned yet, but it’s likely he will show up on that list at some point.With his health back in check, Daniels looks to perform at his peak in 2026. Staying healthy will be a huge factor in the Commanders’ success this season, and if all goes according to plan, then the team will make a postseason appearance for the second time in three years.This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Commanders’ Jayden Daniels named to PFSN top 100 players list
