Cam Ward’s college career got one more accolade Wednesday, when he was announced as the winner of the Manning Award as the nation’s top quarterback.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was named the 2024 Pro Football Writers of America Rookie of the Year, the organization announced Tuesday.

Everything special about Jayden Daniels manifested for the first time in the NFL over 5.3 seconds on the night of Sept. 23. It was his third game; he was on the road against a supposed heavyweight; he was dueling a superstar whose heavy shadow he had not been able to escape for the previous two years.

Former Miami star Cam Ward won the Manning Award on Wednesday as the nation's top quarterback and knows the accolade can be a springboard to good things at the next level.

Daniels threw two touchdown passes to help the Commanders return to the NFC title game for first time in 33 years.
