While it is still unknown about his injury status, that was 1 question when he entered the NFL was whether or not he could handle and make it through an NFL season with his frame. With Daniels out, the Commanders had to go to another former Heisman trophy winning quarterback as former Oregon star Marcus Mariota came in to replace Daniels.
