00:00love Jane Daniels. I thought he was the best quarterback in this draft class better than
00:03Caleb Williams. And part of that is I love the kid's demeanor. I love the way he works
00:10at it. To me, he has that alpha male you want from the quarterback. You're the guy that's
00:15going to command the huddle. And, and by the way, when you watch him practice, you know,
00:20you can watch him on tape all you want, but when you watch him practice, man, that football
00:23gets on the receiver in a hurry. And that's the things that showed up to me when I watched
00:28him that day. But more than that, I love, I love this tape. I think the Washington commanders
00:32have their quarterback for the next decade and they need not worry about it.
00:35You look at this game against Tampa and Todd Bowles will come out blitz as soon as he gets
00:39out of the locker room. Does Jaden's demeanor and the way he plays the game, help him out
00:44a lot with that blitz is coming in.
00:45Well, I mean, the fact that he can move the way he moves, we'll, we'll make that concerning
00:50as well. I mean, if you, you know how that is, they turn their back on him and play man
00:53to man and they blitz them and he gets outside the pocket. He's going to create with his
00:58legs. Now he has to learn how to slide. He's not a big guy in the NFL that can be hazardous
01:02to your health. But I do think the legs are concerning. You have to, you know, change
01:06the way you play him a little bit because he can move. But I look, the kid lives it.
01:11You guys know, you know, the stories is the first guy in the last guy out. He's been that
01:14way since he was that way at LSU. I watched him at Arizona state. I'm a sun devil. I went
01:19to ASU. He was not good at Arizona state. He's the most improved player I've ever seen
01:23in my life covering this league.
01:25And I think that's a tribute to his work ethic. It's a tribute to him as a quarterback.
01:29He is going to be a big time star. And I don't think those blitzes will bother him because
01:32I think he'll be prepared for him.
