Jared Goff: Jayden Daniels is “extremely impressive” to be doing what he’s doing at such a young age

Jayden Daniels will start his second postseason game against the Lions on Saturday night, setting up a matchup between the former No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks.

Detroit’s Jared Goff, of course, was the No. 1 selection back in 2016 and had a much tougher rookie year than Daniels. That’s probably part of why he can appreciate the weight of what Daniels accomplished in his first season.

“Yeah, it’s extremely impressive, very impressive for anybody so young to be doing what he’s doing,” Goff said at his press conference on Tuesday. “He doesn’t look like he’s a rookie, he doesn’t seem to feel like a rookie. He feels like he understands the moment and is comfortable in it, and our job on defense is to try to make him uncomfortable.

“It’s been a challenge for a lot of teams this year, but I’m excited to see what they do.”

Daniels, 24, completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,568 yards with 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 17 regular season games. He was 24 of 35 for 268 yards with two touchdowns in the win over the Buccaneers.
