Tom Brady compares Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels to legendary golfer

Jayden Daniels has led the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship in his rookie season. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss what makes Daniels so special so early on in his career.

Washington Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels helped break the team’s drought of NFC Championship appearances with a shocking victory over the Detroit Lions last week.

Daniels was 22-of-31 with 299 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He was not sacked in the game, and Washington was 3-for-4 on fourth-down conversion attempts.

The young quarterback’s ability to be poised and under control in high-pressure situations earned him praise from arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady. The former NFL star compared Daniels to Tiger Woods during an episode of the "Let’s Go!" podcast.

"How do we really evaluate confidence? How do we evaluate poise? Because some people have it. The moments aren’t too big for them," Brady said. "They look at the challenge, and they think about, ‘Man, this is gonna be amazing when we go out and beat these guys.’ And the other guys look at the challenge and go, ‘Oh man, I really don’t want to mess up.’ And I think that fear of failure, instilled in a lot of people in early points of their life, keeps them from the ultimate confidence that they have in themselves, which allows them to grow to their maximum potential.
