Williams went first, selected by the Chicago Bears. Daniels went second, to the Washington Commanders, and what followed across the 2024 NFL season was the kind of rookie quarterback performance that confirms the evaluation consensus that had placed two players at the top of the board above the rest of the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 Daniels was born on July 3, 2000, in Long Beach, California — a city whose football culture has produced professional talent across generations and whose high school programs are among the most competitive in the country. He developed at Arizona State University under Herm Edwards and then Kenny Dillingham before making the transfer decision that would define his college career: moving to LSU, where head coach Brian Kelly had built a program capable of competing for national championships and attracting the kind of transfer talent that changes a program's ceiling in a single cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 At LSU in 2023, Daniels delivered one of the most complete individual quarterback seasons in recent college football history — accurate at all levels of the field, dangerous as a runner in a way that most passing-oriented quarterbacks never are, and performing with the consistency that Heisman voters reward in December. He won the 2023 Heisman Trophy, beating every other quarterback in the country for the award, and arrived in the 2024 NFL Draft as the most complete dual-threat quarterback in the class — the player whose combination of arm talent and rushing ability gave the Commanders a weapon at the position that the franchise had not had in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 What happened in his 2024 rookie season with Washington validated the evaluation. The Commanders had been a franchise searching for quarterback stability for more than a decade, and Daniels provided it from his first starts — leading the team to its most successful season in years and establishing himself as one of the most watched young quarterbacks in the NFC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏈 \u003cstrong\u003e2024 Panini Donruss Optic #8 Light It Up RC — PSA 10 Gem Mint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📋 Panini Donruss Optic is the chrome-parallel version of the Donruss football card flagship — glossy chromium stock, refractor technology, and the clean Donruss design framework applied to the premium surface that the hobby's most sought-after cards use.
