The first touchdown pass of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels's career went to an unlikely player in offensive tackle Trent Scott.
After the game, a 38-33 Commanders' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on , Daniels spoke to ESPN's Lisa Salters in an interview on the field.
First, he was asked who gets to keep the football from the touchdown, which was a first for Scott just as it was for Daniels.
"I had to keep it," Daniels said with a laugh. "That's my first one. I had to."
Then, perfectly understanding the rarity of linemen touchdowns in the NFL, Daniels dropped this funny one-liner.
"That's gonna be a crazy trivia in the future about who was my first career touchdown pass to," Daniels said.
Indeed.
And if Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft who is off to a fast start in his rookie year, has the kind of career the Commanders are expecting, that will become a well-known trivia question in the years to come.
