ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders have selected Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second pick in the NFL draft.

Washington went with Daniels over North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan national champion J.J. McCarthy. Daniels had for quite some time been the favorite to be chosen by the Commanders. New general manager Adam Peters hopes he is finally the organization's long-term answer at the most important position in the sport.
