Jayden Daniels took the NFL by storm last season as a rookie after leading the Washington Commanders to an NFC Championship Game appearance for the first time in three decades, and he's looking to follow that up with another excellent sophomore campaign in 2025.

Daniels had many memorable moments during his rookie season, with obviously none bigger than helping his team reach the conference championship against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, his comeback victory against the Chicago Bears in October was truly a defining moment of the Commanders' season.

With Washington trailing by three points with two seconds remaining against the Bears, Daniels heaved the ball from beyond midfield and saw his pass caught by Noah Brown after a handful of players missed out on catching the ball at the goal line.

This play helped push the Commanders to 6-2 on the season, and that's why Daniels decided to bring a picture of the moment to his trip to famous French museum, The Louvre.

Somehow, it feels unlikely though that Daniels won't have more magical plays like the Hail Mary in his future NFL seasons because he's already become a superstar in just one year with Washington.
