Washington Commanders Sources Reveal Upcoming Quarterback Prospect Meetings

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, sources revealed that the Commanders are planning multiple meetings with elite quarterback prospects. Washington essentially has three days next week that they plan to use to meet with these quarterbacks.

The Commanders will meet with LSU QB Jayden Daniels next Monday. Then, they plan to meet with North Carolina QB Drake Maye next Tuesday and Wednesday. If these meeting dates are accurate, it could be telling that the Commanders have set aside two meeting dates for Maye.

Drake Maye vs. Jayden Daniels

Outside of Caleb Williams, these are arguably the two best quarterback prospects heading into this year’s draft. One of these quarterbacks will likely be the second overall pick. However, there has been a debate as to which one Washington will choose.

Let’s start with Jayden Daniels. One of the main reasons he is in this discussion is because he won the Heisman Trophy last season. Daniels had 50 combined touchdowns last season (40 passing, 10 rushing). On top of this, he had 1,134 rushing yards and 3,812 passing yards.

So, how does Drake Maye compare to Daniels? For starters, he had 3,608 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes last season. On top of this, he had 449 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns.

Possible North Carolina Connection?

Last year, the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders was Sam Howell. He also played at North Carolina before entering the NFL before Maye took over for him. So, if the Commanders do end up drafting Maye, it could be two straight quarterbacks from North Carolina starting for this team.
