Success of Daniels not a surprise to everybody

The Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. — Jayden Daniels has not given much thought to how he has handled half a season playing quarterback in the NFL. “I still have some ways to go,” he said. “I’ll sit back and reflect after my rookie year is done.” That’s OK. The rest of the sport has plenty to say about Daniels taking the league by storm, leading the Washington Commanders to their first 7-2 start since 1996 and becoming not only the favorite to be the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year but putting himself firmly in the MVP conversation. “You guys got to stop calling him ...

Wilson aces two starts

PITTSBURGH — Russell Wilson was at the Pro Bowl following his breakout rookie season more than a decade ago when he found himself practicing alongside quarterbacks whose resumes he was chasing. Ben Roethlisberger. Drew Brees. Peyton Manning. Eli Manning. Sure, that week in paradise was fun. Yet Wilson’s memories of it don’t focus on the perks, but the practices. The player who obsesses over the game found kindred spirits among Super Bowl champions. “I just learned and watched a lot,” Wilson said. “I have just always believed in understanding and learning every play. ...
