Commanders Legend Brian Mitchell Raves Over Jayden Daniels, 'Sky Is the Limit'
TMZSports.com
Jayden Daniels has won over the Commanders’ fan base with his play so far this year … and clearly one of the franchise’s all-time best players, too — as Brian Mitchell tells TMZ Sports he’s wildly impressed with Washington’s new star rookie.
Through five games, Daniels has the Commanders at 4-1 and atop the NFC East … and Mitchell says it’s now apparent to him, the 23-year-old signal-caller’s potential is enormous.
“The sky is the limit,” the former All-Pro said.
Mitchell — who co-hosts “B Mitch and Finlay,” a DC-area sports talk show — told us he could see Daniels’ maturity from a mile away just after Washington took him with the No. 2 overall pick in the spring’s draft … but he said what really impressed him about the LSU product was the way he maintained his drive even after being named the team’s QB1 in the summer.
In fact, the ex-Washington tailback said he’s pretty sure if Daniels keeps it up … a key to the city — and more — is in his future.
“If he keeps leading like this,” Mitchell said, “he can get this town, this state, this area, everybody around too — he can feed them from his hands!”
While great so far, Daniels will have a big test on Sunday … when he and the Commanders take on the Ravens in Baltimore. Mitchell tells us he’s expecting a helluva game … but if his former team should lose it — he cautioned fans to keep their optimism.
After all, Mitchell explained the whole organization has a different feel to it now that they’ve got new ownership in addition to a new QB and head coach.

Jonathan Majors and ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari settle assault and defamation case
Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, has agreed to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the actor assaulted and defamed her.
In a civil lawsuit filed in New York in March, Jabbari accused her former partner of a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023.” In court documents filed in New York on Thursday, their attorneys jointly agreed to dismiss the claims against Majors with prejudice – meaning that the claims can’t be filed again.
In a statement to NPR, Jabbari’s attorney, Brad Edwards, wrote, “We are happy to announce that the meritorious lawsuit Grace Jabbari filed against Jonathan Majors was successfully settled. It took tremendous courage for Grace to pursue this case. We are happy to have helped her close this chapter favorably so that she can move forward and begin to finally heal.”
NPR has reached out to Majors’ attorneys for comment about the dismissal.
In a separate domestic violence case in 2023, Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment charges. Prosecutors argued that Majors had attacked Jabbari, his then-girlfriend, in the back of a car in Manhattan on March 25 of that year. Later that night, he returned to their hotel and called 911 to report that he’d found Jabbari “unconscious,” but was arrested when police found her with a broken finger in addition to bruises and cuts on her body. Earlier this year, he was sentenced to probation and enrolled in a domestic violence prevention program.
Jabbari’s civil suit was filed just before Majors was sentenced in criminal court this spring. She alleged that in addition to assault and battery, Majors also defamed her, “smearing” her name following his arrest and conviction. At the time, Majors’ lawyer said they would be preparing counterclaims.
Majors had been a rising star in Hollywood, playing Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and starring alongside Michael B. Jordan in Creed III. He was set to portray Kang in upcoming movies, but Marvel and Disney dropped the actor following his conviction. He and actress Meagan Good announced their engagement at an event on November 17.

More than 100,000 pounds of ground beef are recalled for possibly having E. coli
More than 100,000 pounds of ground beef are being recalled due to possibly being contaminated with E. coli, the U.S. government said this week.
Detroit-based Wolverine Packing Co. recalled nearly 170,000 pounds of ground beef it distributed to restaurants across the country, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture alerted the FSIS about several illnesses last week, and collected a sample of the ground beef a week later that tested positive for E.coli.
The fresh, recalled products have a “use by” date of Nov. 14, 2024, while the frozen products have a production date of Oct. 22, 2024.
Restaurants should throw those products away.
E. coli illness can “cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure [to] the organism,” the FSIS said.
In rare cases, it can cause kidney failure. Though, most people recuperate in a week or less.
