What will Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels look like in the new Madden NFL 26 video game?
Every year, the Madden NFL video game franchise promises something different. This year’s game, which will be released in August, has several new features, including the ability to juke and spin behind the line of scrimmage, which leads us back to Daniels.
Courtesy of X user RickyDubsTV, we’ve seen the first clips of Daniels using the new juke move as he escapes pressure against the Detroit Lions and fires a strike downfield for the completion. On the next play, Daniels uses his pocket mobility to find Zach Ertz for a touchdown.

That looks like a pretty good representation of Daniels.
Former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert recently released a video on quarterback play in the new Madden game. It’s called QB DNA, and it features signature throwing styles for quarterbacks across the NFL. The starting quarterbacks look and move like their real-life counterparts. This small clip certainly resembles the Daniels we saw last season.
Madden NFL 26 launches everywhere on August 14; however, if you order the deluxe edition, you can play the game beginning on August 11.
