Commanders

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels joked that he is ready to throw WR Deebo Samuel a screen pass and watch him take it to the house for a touchdown, meaning he won’t have to do much work on such a play.

“I’m excited to throw him a little screen and hopefully on the stat sheet it says a touchdown for 80 yards and I didn’t have to do any of the work,” Daniels said, smiling, via The Sports Place.

Eagles

Eagles first-round pick Jihaad Campbell doesn’t care where he lines up in DC Vic Fangio‘s defense, as long as he gets to play football.

That’s why you love the game, the obsession of it all. That’s the good part. And I think the other part to it all, I think the coaching staff is tremendous. I think their ability to teach every day. I think what makes a great coach is the ability to teach, to be able to teach young guys, to be able to teach veterans to be able to constantly learn. I think being on that constant quest for knowledge is such a necessary thing, and that’s the part that I love the most.”

“I think to be able to get guys their confidence at the highest level every day,” Wilson continued. *“I think that’s the job of the quarterback, is to facilitate the ball at the right guy at the right time, but also to facilitate that motivation daily for each guy and find their why daily, find their greatness daily, find that greatness in...
