Jayden Daniels' first career preseason drive could not have gone much better for the Washington Commanders, KevinPatra of NFL.com reports.

The No. 2 overall pick hurried his first throw, skying a screen pass intended for Austin Ekeler for an incompletion. However, Daniels' second throw was a beauty.

Facing a third-and-6, Daniels calmly settled into a good pocket, looked off the safety, and launched a pretty parabola to Dyami Brown for a 42-yard gain.

The pass settled the rookie down. He managed the huddle well and got to the line comfortably. Daniels later zipped a short pass to Terry McLaurin for a minimal gain.

Daniels then reminded the league he's also a weapon with his legs, taking a zone read on third-and-goal for an easy walk-in touchdown.

The Heisman Trophy winner gave way to Marcus Mariota after the singular touchdown drive. Daniels finished 2-of-3 passing for 45 yards.

It was as good of a debut as coach Dan Quinn could have hoped for. Daniels shook off a shaky first pass, ran the offense well, splashed a big play on third down, and showed off his dual-threat ability.
