Rachaad White Calls Jayden Daniels the Best QB He's Played With, Not Tom Brady
'He's the best quarterback I played with': Rachaad White's bold praise for Jayden Daniels, ahead of Baker Mayfield and Tom Brady.
Jayden Daniels delivered an outstanding rookie season for the Washington Commanders two years ago. He amassed 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in 17 games, while adding 891 rushing yards and six more touchdowns. Daniels masterminded four game-winning drives that year, tied for the third-most in the league among first-year players.
He led the Commanders to a 12-5 record, their best since 1991, and sent them to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in a decade. However, Daniels wasn't able to replicate this success in the 2025 season. He was sidelined with injuries for seven games, finishing with 1,262 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions in the 5-12 campaign.
The Commanders responded by acquiring Rachaad White, a former teammate of Daniels from their days at Arizona State. White, who also played with both Baker Mayfield and Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, went as far as to call Daniels the best quarterback he's ever played with. He praised Daniels' poise, movement, and clutch performances, noting that Daniels was always a game-changer for the team.
Daniels' return to full health is crucial for the Commanders to reclaim their position at the top of the NFC. With a strong supporting cast including White, Chig Okonkwo, and Stefon Diggs, Daniels appears set for another strong season in 2026.
