Well, it’s January of 2025. Daniels just led the Commanders to a huge upset win over the Detroit Lions. He just, as my colleague Robert Zeglinski wrote, cemented the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history.

So, yeah. Daniels called it. We have the receipts. He was right, and anyone who doubted him then, now or beyond can look at this and doubt no more.
