The Commanders were not a complete team in 2024, although Adam Peters made huge efforts to get the right players in the right places. This offseason, Peters did his best to support his new quarterback with added protection and weapons. Terry McLaurin was Daniels’ favorite target in 2024, but Peters sought out additional weapons and brought in Deebo Samuel. Now, the fresh combination of Daniels and Samuel has been named the third-best newly formed quarterback and wide receiver duo in 2025.

Daniels bursting onto the scene in his rookie season made the Washington Commanders the Cinderella story of 2024. This offseason, the organization did what any smart outfit does when it struck gold at a quarterback on his rookie deal, and surrounded him with talent. At the receiver position, Terry McLaurin remains the No. 1 option, but the club did go out and acquire former 49ers pass catcher Deebo Samuel, further bolstering the group. Samuel has been an All-Pro player during his career and is one of the more dynamic players, thanks to his ability to line up as a traditional receiver and work out of the backfield. If offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury keeps that versatile aspect of Samuel’s game intact as he joins the Commanders, it creates even more ways for him and Daniels to thrive and become a nightmare for opposing defenses.
