Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is a big fan one Washington receiver
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels sees big things in Treylon Burks.
When Washington Commanders lost star wide receiver Terry McLaurin to a season-ending knee injury, many wondered if the team could find a replacement. Stefon Diggs provided some touches, but the Commanders wanted to keep him healthy for the full season. Two players were expected to take up the mantle: Treylon Burks and rookie Antonio Williams.
Burks, a 26-year-old with five NFL seasons under his belt and a second stint with Washington, had a breakout season. After being waived by the Tennessee Titans in October 2025 due to health issues, the Commanders signed him to a one-year deal. As the season progressed, Burks showcased his speed and confidence on deep routes, catching seven passes for 147 yards in just two games following McLaurin's injury.
Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels praised Burks' growing confidence and his ability to stretch the field with his long stride and quickness. Daniels' confidence in Burks was evident. If Burks can maintain his health and consistency, the Commanders may have made a significant acquisition.
