Era for the Washington Commander's new quarterback as the commander
selected Jaden Daniels second overall in the first round of
the draft last night.
It happened just last night,
and fans are waking up with a little more energy
and optimism on this Friday morning and Fox 5 Stephanie
Ramirez,
She's hearing that for herself.
She's live in Arlington near the Boston metro station with
more Steph.
Good morning,
Good morning. Hearing all the buzz here as people move
through the metro station this morning,
look at all the fans we've been talking with in
the days and the weeks leading up to the draft.
They all said they wanted Jaden Daniels.
So are we really surprised here?
I don't know, but definitely a lot of excitement.
The
LSU 2023 Heisman winner spoke directly to fans afterwards,
saying he is coming to the region ready to compete,
ready to learn how to play professional football and will
hopefully help turn this ship around.
He's got a whole number of
under his resume and he did also claim that the
team did a good job and not tipping their hand
on who they were going to go with.
Although GM Adam Peter said afterwards it was pretty unanimous
they wanted him.
He excuse me, here's more of what we are hearing
here at the Ballston Metro station this morning.
Jayden Daniels going to be a success,
but not more so than Kayla Williams but just enough
for Josh hers to get that brass ring one day.
Wonderful. Yeah, well, I don't know.
I'm kind of confused. I mean,
we keep getting all these new quarterbacks and
you know, it's like, what do we just get one
and keep them for a while,
Let them develop. They're not doing it.
So hopefully, hopefully they do this one.
Hey guys, I did speak with a fan just now
who said to Jayden,
look, the area is behind you now,
we don't know if he's going to play right away.
What we do know, guys,
is the first man mentioned Caleb Williams,
young man. That is one of three
people from our area local talents who made it in
the first round picks.
Congratulations to them later today.
What you need to know In less than 1/2 an
hour,
we're going to have Darrell Green in The Newsroom there
on set talking about the commanders and announcing the second
and third round draft picks.
And then also at 2:30 today,
FOX 5 Sports reporter Chad Ricardo is going to get
a chance to talk
one-on-one with Jaden Daniels himself.
We're going to have the interview that reports for you
at 4-5 and 6:00 today.
And then the full interview will have that up later
on the Fox local smart TV app.
I'll send it back into you.
I look forward to hearing what Jayden has to say
now.
It's going to be all sinking in for him as
well,
just like with the fans.
Stephanie, thank you so very much.
A lot of tweets out there as well about Jayden
Daniels,
including from some of the owners of the team,
basically saying welcome to DC,
let's get down to business,
let's get it done and let's go out there and
win.
All right. And he seems to be up to the
challenge too that I've heard at least in previous interviews.
But this all brings us to our Fox 5 live
in Spall.
We want to know what position should the Commanders draft
next and so far looks like
65% of you are saying we're running back tight in
at 20.
Let us know. You can scan that QR code on
your screen.

Let's see what Gerald Brown is saying.
Now that the team has drafted his QB,
we need an above average offensive lineman.
You said that Steve. I'm more in tune with with
Gerald and Jim who are posting the lineman.
The running back room is pretty full right now.
So I think in the second round you got to
go with somebody who can protect your new quarterback.
That's the future of your franchise.
So let's get the big guys up front and keep
everybody safe out on the football field.
But nonetheless, team definitely is improving off the field.
Hopefully they are improvement on the field as well.
