Jayden Daniels evades the topic as if he's an oncoming pass rusher and ducks away from the questions as if he's avoiding a sack.
It sure looks as if the Washington Commanders' franchise quarterback has bulked up, adding some muscle after his AP Offensive Rookie of the Year season. He just won't say how much and insists it was not a particular mission of his.
"That's up for grabs - I don't know," Daniels said Wednesday after an offseason practice session. "I was just working out. It wasn't about this amount or much. Just go out there, have a plan and naturally just put on weight."
Daniels is happy to let others talk about his weight, and that extends to his teammates and coaches. They notice, chalking it up to him being a competitor looking to gain another edge.
Kliff Kingsbury, back for a second season as offensive coordinator , has not seen what Daniels is lifting but observes the 24-year-old looking a little thicker.
