LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The National Football League announced today that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for the month of September.

This past month, Daniels has been 87-of-106 for 897 yards and has thrown three touchdown passes and only one interception. Daniels has also added 218 yards on the ground and four rushing touchdowns. Daniels' completion percentage of 82.1 is the highest completion percentage through four games in NFL history.

Daniels is currently Top 10 in the NFL in every relevant passing category. He is No. 3 in the NFL and No. 2 in the NFC in passer rating (107.4). Daniels also leads all NFL quarterbacks in rushing touchdowns with four. He trails only Baltimore's Lamar Jackson in rushing yards by a quarterback in September.

Daniels became the first player in NFL history to record consecutive games with an 85% or higher completion percentage. He has also orchestrated more scoring drives (23) than incomplete passes thrown (19) through four games.

Daniels becomes the first Washington rookie and first Washington rookie quarterback to win NFL Rookie of the Month since QB Robert Griffin III did so in September and November of 2012.

The last NFL quarterback to capture the award was Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud who won it twice in September and November of last season. The last NFC quarterback to win it was San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy in December of 2022.

Daniels is the seventh Washington player to secure the NFL Rookie of the Month honor since the award began being tracked in 1996. He joins Griffin III (twice in 2012), OLB Ryan Kerrigan (2011), S Chris Horton (2008), CB Fred Smoot (2001), T Chris Samuels (2000) and CB Champ Bailey (1999) as the other Washington players to earn the distinction.

Daniels becomes just the third player in franchise history to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month since the award began being tracked in 1996. Prior to Daniels earning the honor, Griffin III and Samuels were the only offensive players in franchise history to secure the distinction.
