Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels already has a strong foundation built after his first season in the league.

However, Daniels still has a ton of room for improvement in his individual game.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told ESPN insider John Keim that Daniels is specifically working on his footwork this offseason, and he believes it could go a long way towards developing his game.

Daniels working on one specific trait

"That's one that I know he's going to dig in hard on this year," Quinn said via ESPN insider John Keim. "I think if you asked a lot of quarterbacks, that's where the power comes from."

If Daniels can find a way to improve his footwork during the offseason, he might end up improving even more in his second season in the league. That could be the difference in the Commanders making and missing the Super Bowl this season.
