All-Pro Cornerback Richard Sherman praised Daniels during the game for all he has done this season without top tier talent like some of the teams around the league have.
Everyone who believes they have an ELITE QB please watch Jayden Daniels. Without the excuses you see him elevating his team. Washington’s Defense playing inspired football in support. Detroit is built the right way and I think they will make this a game before it’s all said…
