In his first 12 months as a quarterback, 24-year-old Jayden Daniels has taken the NFL by storm.
Drafted within the first spherical, quantity two total, second to solely Caleb Williams, Daniels has had what {many professional} NFL analysts have mentioned is “the most effective rookie quarterback season ever.”
Following a “magical” 12 months the place Daniels has damaged quite a few NFL and Commanders group data, and led his group to the postseason with an unimaginable 12-5 common season file, not surprisingly, Daniels is the main candidate for the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Yr (OROTY) award.
Within the NFL it often takes a number of years for a rookie quarterback to develop, making Daniel’s meteoric success uncommon. Even coming in as a university soccer famous person and reigning Heisman Trophy winner (2023), there’s no assure of success within the Nationwide Soccer League. Living proof, regardless of being a robust 12 months for quarterbacks, Daniels’ ten fellow 2024 rookie quarterbacks, together with Caleb Williams (who was drafted above him), are all within the offseason. Daniels is the one rookie quarterback left. If he makes the Tremendous Bowl, he’ll be the primary rookie quarterback in NFL historical past to take action, and if he wins, he’ll even be the primary rookie quarterback in NFL historical past to finish such a feat.
Daniels and the Commanders play towards the robust Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 3 pm EST, the Commanders’ first NFC Championship sport in 33 years. This would be the division rivals’ third assembly this 12 months. Every group received one and misplaced one. The stakes couldn’t be larger: the winner goes to Tremendous Bowl LIX in New Orleans (February ninth, 2025), and the loser heads to Cancun.
As fellow watch lovers, what timepieces does one of many league’s high quarterbacks — who signed a completely assured four-year rookie contract of $37.8 million — put on on his wrist?
Up to now, we will affirm three. One Cartier, and two Rolexes.
On the Hesiman ceremony in 2023, Daniels wore a basic Rolex Day-Date 40 in both 18K white gold (Ref. 228239) that retails for $50,800 – or a 950 platinum (Ref. 228236) which retails for $68,500. His watch has a Presidential bracelet with a silver dial and manufacturing facility diamond-set indices (factory-set is the optimum alternative for a diamond Rolex as a result of aftermarket diamonds don’t retain worth effectively).
On the draft, the place Daniels was chosen 2nd total, he wore a completely diamond-set Cartier Santos.
Most just lately, Daniels was noticed getting into the lockerroom on the divisional spherical of the playoffs, in Detroit, sporting a 904L chrome steel Datejust 41 (Ref. 126300) with a clean bezel, a black dial, and an Oyster bracelet, which retails for $8,150.
Right here’s to an epic NFC and AFC championship spherical on Sunday!
