Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is one of the top prospects entering this year's NFL Draft. The former LSU star is widely projected to be one of the first players taken in Thursday night's draft.

The Chicago Bears hold the top overall pick. Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy, has been linked to the Bears. The Washington Commanders have the second pick and are likely looking for a long-term solution at the quarterback position. Daniels, Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr. will all likely still be on the board when the Commanders are on the clock. 

While Daniels remains the odds-on favorite to be the No. 2 pick, rumors have swirled that he would prefer to play elsewhere. However, Daniels refuted the idea that he would be uncomfortable playing for the Commanders, saying he would be "blessed" to be drafted by any NFL team.

"I’m blessed to go wherever I’m called," Daniels said on the eve of the 2024 draft. "Whoever calls my phone, whoever gives the card to the Commissioner that says my name, I’m blessed to go, and they’re gonna get my all."

Pressed further about the Commanders and asked if he would be OK going Washington, Daniels replied: "100%."
