But mounting injuries to Daniels and others torpedoed the Commanders\u2019 momentum, leading to a disappointing 5-12 record and an overhaul of the coaching staff.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<h2>\n<span>Trending<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Members of Patriot Front ride the metro as a commuter looks on.\" class=\"wp-image-1140\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a83d84194055dedfdd98b2e70239cb6c-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a83d84194055dedfdd98b2e70239cb6c-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a83d84194055dedfdd98b2e70239cb6c-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a83d84194055dedfdd98b2e70239cb6c.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><h3>\n<span>\n                      The Woman in the Photo Wanted to Be Alone.

His Instagram appears to be run by a marketing professional, and he hasn\u2019t tweeted since September 2024. In interviews, he often gives the media a whole lot of nothing. But \u201cQuarterback\u201d shows that Daniels does have personality.<\/p><p>In Week 1 against the Giants, Daniels has this exchange with defensive lineman and fellow Campbell\u2019s soup pitchman Dexter Lawrence after Lawrence hits him late:<\/p>\n<p>Daniels: \u201cI thought me and you was like family.\u201d<\/p><p>Lawrence: \u201cYou on the other team today.\u201d<\/p><p>Daniels: \u201cLook, Campbell\u2019s, you know?\u201d<\/p><p>In Week 6 against the Bears, Daniels yells \u201cdon\u2019t overplay that shit\u201d at a defender after rushing for a key first down in the fourth quarter.<\/p><p>Five games later, Daniels is sitting at home with an injury while the team is in Madrid playing the Dolphins. With the staff in Spain, Daniels can\u2019t get his typical breakfast, so instead he settles for Panera.<\/p><p>\u201cChick-fil-A not open, so this is the backup,\u201d Daniels says, not trying to be funny but nonetheless getting a laugh out of this viewer.<\/p>\n<p><b>He did not agree with sitting out 10 games last season. <\/b><\/p><p>Daniels suffered three injuries last season, not including the reaggravation of one that kept him out of the season\u2019s final weeks. But other than the gruesome dislocated left elbow he sustained Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, Daniels says none of those injuries would have kept him out if it were up to him.<\/p><p>After spraining the outside ligament in his left knee in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, Daniels missed two weeks. While he tells backup quarterback Sam Hartman that he couldn\u2019t move following the game, Daniels doesn\u2019t agree with the team\u2019s decision to sit him.<\/p><p>\u201cI was not happy about getting the news that I was sitting out again week four,\u201d he says.<\/p><p>When asked if he felt better about the decision to sit out Week 3 after Washington beat the Raiders without him, Daniels demurs.<\/p><p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he says with a nervous smile. \u201cNo. No.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniels missed the Week 8 game versus the Chiefs after suffering a low-grade right hamstring strain the previous week against the Cowboys. At the time, Daniels knew the injury was bad, but \u201cwas praying it wasn\u2019t too severe.\u201d<\/p><p>Regardless, while sitting on the bench against Kansas City, he tells teammates: \u201cI wanted to play super bad. If it was up to me, I\u2019d have played in every game.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1152\">Alex Padilla Says Members of Congress Must Be Up-Front About Health Issues<\/a><\/p><p>After the elbow injury in the Seahawks game (more on that below), Daniels missed a month. He returned in Week 14 against the Vikings after he and coach Dan Quinn decided it was best for him to get the reps, even in a lost season.<\/p><p>\u201cThe biggest thing for me is protecting the team, and that comes with protecting myself and being available on the field,\u201d Daniels says.<\/p><p>But it\u2019s all for naught: In the third quarter, Daniels, wearing an arm brace, throws an interception to linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel. As Daniels chases down Van Ginkel, he gets rocked by a Viking defender, ending his game and his season.<\/p><p>\u201cAnd thats what I was fucking worried about,\u201d Daniels\u2019 mother, Regina Jackson, says afterward.<\/p>\n<p><b>He chose to stay in the Seahawks game. <\/b><\/p><p>Quinn took the blame for leaving Daniels in the Seattle game while down 38-7, telling reporters afterward, \u201cI missed it.\u201d<\/p><p>Quinn and the medical staff had final say, but Daniels makes clear he had no desire to wave the white flag that night. A Commanders coach is seen telling Daniels to not \u201cdo anything spectacular\u201d and to just throw the ball away if he gets in trouble.<\/p><p>Obviously that didn\u2019t happen, but even in hindsight, Daniels says he wouldn\u2019t have asked out of the game before the injury.<\/p><p>\u201cHell no,\u201d he says when asked if he thought about subbing out. \u201cNot at all. I was always taught to finish what you start, and we still got to put our best foot forward even though we played like shit the whole game. Yeah, the game might be out of reach, but finish the game.\u201d<\/p><p><b>His mom sets the record straight.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When people hear Daniels\u2019 name, the first thing they might think of is his ever-present mother, Regina Jackson. Wherever Daniels is \u2014 the Heisman Trophy ceremony, the NFL draft, an NCAA men\u2019s basketball game \u2014 Jackson is often by his side. While she may very well be a helicopter parent, Jackson has legitimate reasons for always being in the mix. She\u2019s not only Daniels\u2019 mother, but also his business manager and agent. Jackson says she helps her son so much because that\u2019s what a mother does. But the former electric vehicle and solar energy manager makes clear she\u2019s not using Daniels, as some have insinuated.<\/p><p>\u201cI don\u2019t need Jayden\u2019s money,\u201d she says. \u201cI have my own money, I do my own thing.\u201d<\/p><p><b>His uncle steals the show.<\/b><\/p><p>If Mahershala Ali can win an Academy Award for just <span><u>20 minutes<\/u><\/span> of screentime, then Mark Greenhouse, Jayden\u2019s uncle, should get his props for barely 20 seconds. In Week 5 the Commanders travel to Daniels\u2019 native Southern California to play the Los Angeles Chargers. While in town, Jackson visits with family, including Greenhouse, her sister\u2019s husband. Greenhouse says he always knew Daniels would make it because \u201clook who his mama is.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHis mom is a beast, so if the mom is a beast, boy,\u201d Greenhouse says. \u201cThis dude, he\u2019s everything out of high school, and mama still sending him to his room, as a senior.\u201d<\/p><p><b>Two more notes: <\/b><\/p><ul><li>Daniels likes his footballs muddy. Without context that sounds strange, but bear with me: When new footballs are taken out of packaging, they\u2019re apparently super slick. So equipment managers sand them down and apply what\u2019s called \u201crubbing mud\u201d to the footballs to improve grip. Well, Daniels really likes that mud. \u201cI love a muddy football,\u201d he said. \u201c[I like] the laces to kind of be pointy.\u201d <\/li><\/ul><ul><li><p>He is a fan of Patrick Mahomes. Daniels had to miss the Chiefs game with the hamstring injury, which meant he couldn\u2019t play against three-time champion Mahomes. \u201cLet me go watch Mr. Mahomes throw the football,\u201d Daniels said while watching from the sideline. \u201cI got to see this shit in-person myself.\u201d <\/p><p>After a few more compliments of Mahomes, Daniels catches himself. \u201cOh bro, I\u2019m glazing, he good bro,\u201d Daniels said, using another word for overpraising.<\/p><p>The cameras then cut immediately to Daniels in an interview, again praising Mahomes. \u201cNo glaze,\u201d he quipped.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1144\">How Trump Transformed the DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Office<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The docuseries, which came out Tuesday, follows Washington\u2019s star quarterback through the ups and downs of his sophomore season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
