Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was back on the football field for the first time since his 2025 season ended with an elbow injury in a Week 14 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Daniels, one of several NFL stars and legends, which also included Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Saquon Barkley and others, participated in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday in Los Angeles.
Daniels, along with Burrow, was a part of the Wildcats. The Wildcats also featured Barkley, former NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., Davante Adams, WWE star Logan Paul and YouTuber iShowSpeed, among others. The Founders were led by Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Von Miller and others. Then, we had the U.S. men’s national team.
For those thinking that Daniels would just stand in the pocket and throw passes, think again. Daniels played some receiver, juked defenders in the open field and more.
Here’s his best throw of the day, a touchdown to Adams.
First, the field is not 100 yards, but it’s still 50 yards, and that’s an impressive throw from Daniels. It was effortless.
