There's a reason why Jayden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy as the quarterback of the LSU Tigers. And his talents are already revealing themselves at the NFL level in the offseason with the Washington Commanders.

Pro Bowl wide receiver and teammate of Daniels, Terry McLaurin, is among the many who have taken note.

That comes down to both the tangibles and the intangibles that McLaurin has shown to have brought to the table. Being a "good teammate" may sound cliche, but winning the locker room may be the most important thing a quarterback can do outside of being accurate on the field.

Daniels has done just that.

"He's very charismatic, I think he's really personable when he walks into the building; he just has a calm demeanor about him," McLaurin said on Tuesday. "He's very approachable, so guys have no problem, whether you're an offensive lineman, receiver, or running back, talking to him and communicating the objective of the play, what he's seeing, or what he's thinking."

The signal-caller also brings the level of work ethic to be desired as he has demonstrated early on. He's not afraid to do whatever necessary to make improvements, even if that means sacrificing some additional time on an already busy schedule.

"I think he's going to be a really good player because of the time and work he puts in," McLaurin said. "I don't think I've had a young quarterback come in and, within the first week, he's like 'Hey, can we get this rep?' or 'let me get this route after practice?"

But it's far from just the person he is that has caused Daniels to be so well-received by the Commanders. There's legitimacy behind the hype surrounding Daniels' ability to throw it deep.

"His touch on the deep ball is amazing," McLaurin said. "I love getting extra reps with practice. With him was catching the topping of the deep ball as big for me. I get to track the ball over my shoulder. It's big for him to be able to get used to dropping the ball in the bucket, but he just naturally delivers the ball and he sees the windows really well."

Every aspect of Daniels as a passer seemed to show improvement between his time at Arizona State and his transition to LSU at the college level, as he showed he could score through the air with the Tigers efficiently. It was something he lacked with the Sun Devils, but could have been a product of scheme or coaching outside of himself, after all.

"He has a really good anticipation over the middle of the field," McLaurin explained. "He can make those throws and give you a chance to catch and run, and he's really accountable, we had a play today where he felt like he missed me, and it's not a big deal at all. I mean him, and I could talk through those things. And there's been a play that I've talked to him about I could done a better job of."

How Daniels progresses with his rookie season ahead of him will be something to watch.
