Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has only played 19 regular-season games in his NFL career, but he’s already gained more rushing yards through 20 games than any quarterback in NFL history.
Daniels ran for 17 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Packers, bringing his career total to 976 rushing yards. That’s the most a quarterback has ever gained through 20 games, even before any rushing yardage he adds next week.
The old record was set by another Heisman Trophy-winning Washington quarterback drafted second overall, Robert Griffin III. Griffin ran for 964 yards in his first 20 regular-season games.
With 24 rushing yards next week against the Raiders, Daniels would be the fastest quarterback to reach 1,000 career rushing yards.
