Washington Commanders Star WR Praising Work Ethic and Charisma of QB Jayden Daniels
ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders have a lot of excitement brewing around them and the presence of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is a big part of it.
His electric play style is what immediately drew Commanders fans and media to Daniels during the pre-draft process, but it’s his personality and work ethic several team members have said led to the selection at No. 2.

Since then, Daniels has been working to impress his coaches, teammates, and to earn the spot most in Washington assume he’ll get as the franchise’s next starting quarterback.
For wide receiver Terry McLaurin, Daniels will be yet another new starting quarterback in what has been a revolving door of new names and faces throughout his relatively short career. The franchise is hoping this one sticks around for a while, and McLaurin is liking what he’s seeing from Daniels so far.
“He’s very charismatic. I think he’s really personal when he walks into the building, he just has a calm demeanor about him. He’s very approachable,” McLaurin said of his quarterback. “So guys have no problem whether you’re an offensive lineman, receiver, running back, talking to him, communicating what the objective is of this play or what he’s seeing or what he’s thinking. And he came in really prepared. I feel like when he was getting one’s reps or where he’s working with the twos, he does a great job of getting the most out of the reps that he needs to accomplish. I think he’s going to be a really good player because of the time and the work that he puts in. I don’t think I’ve had a young quarterback that really has come in and within the first week he’s like, ‘Hey, can we get this route,’ or ‘Let me get this rep after practice.’”
“He came in really prepared. I feel like when he was getting one’s reps or where he’s working with the twos, he does a great job of getting the most out of the reps that he needs to accomplish.”
– Terry McLaurin on Jayden Daniels
The more we hear about Daniels being in command, comfortable, taking charge, or whatever positive description is being used of how he’s performing through rookie minicamp, OTAs, and now into his first mandatory minicamp, the more buzz builds around him.
That buzz was never louder than when Daniels was seen leading the first-team offense in 11-on-11 drills for the first time in front of attending media. That excitement was something you could feel on the practice field Tuesday. And it’s something McLaurin is feeling as well.
“It’s exciting for me because that opens the door where they got a lot on their plate, but at the same time when you know there’s that open door of communication and he’s not afraid to get that work in before or after practice or talk through things, it makes the growth part a lot quicker,” McLaurin continued. “He’s very talented, but he’s extremely humble as well. And I’m looking forward to see how he continues to grow.”

A contract worker was killed by a falling tree on Monday afternoon in Washington County, officials said.
The Washington County Office of the Coroner said in a news release that the contractor was killed after the tree fell on them around 4 p.m. The worker, who was not immediately identified, was hired to cut down a tree at a residence on Lynn Portal Road in Canton Township, and it fell in an unintended direction, killing the person, the coroner said.
No other information was immediately released on Monday evening. The Greene-Washington Regional Police Department and the coroner are investigating.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
On September 11, 2025, after 11 years at the Washington Post as an editor and columnist, I was fired via email.
In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, I did what I have always done— and was expected to do — as a public voice and columnist on race, gender, and culture: I commented on America’s racial double standards in public discourse when it comes to political violence. You can read my posts below.
And then this post of mine:
The very next day, I was fired from my job at the Washington Post without so much as a conversation.
According to the termination letter from the Post, the company cited these two Bluesky posts, claimed that I disparaged white men, accused me of ‘gross misconduct’, and that my Bluesky posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of our staff”.
You can read the letter for yourself here.
In October, along with the Washington Post Guild and the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, we filed a grievance against the Post, challenging the termination.
So, I have some updates…
The arbitration hearing will be this Thursday, June 4, in Washington, D.C.
As the last remaining Black full-time staff columnist in the Washington Post’s Opinions section, I was very aware of what my firing represented for diversity in newsrooms.
While newsroom diversity is absolutely critical, it is not the only principle at stake. I am fighting for journalists’ rights to do their jobs, to comment on matters of public concern without fear of censorship, retaliation, or political pressure.
And this is a battle well worth having.
I am thankful for the support of the Washington Post Guild, my lawyers at the Washington Baltimore News Guild, as well as Norman Eisen and the legal support from the Democracy Defenders Fund.
And of course, I am deeply grateful to my readers, followers, friends, mentors, and the industry peers who have supported me throughout my career and through what has been one of the most personally and professionally challenging periods of my life.
The stakes are high, but I’m ready.
Let’s go.
