Daniels was born on December 18, 2000, in Fontana, California, and raised in nearby San Bernardino.[1] As a youth, he played flag football, basketball, and soccer before attending Cajon High School in 2015.[2] Daniels, named the starting quarterback of Cajon's varsity team as a freshman, required a medical waiver to play due to being undersized for the position at 125 pounds (57 kg).[1] He led the team to the CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) Inland Division playoffs that year, losing to Heritage in the semifinals.[3] He broke the little finger of his throwing hand in the first game of the 2016 season but missed no games.[4] In 2017, Daniels led Cajon to a Citrus Belt League (CBL) title and an appearance in the Division 2-AA state finals against Junípero Serra while setting the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) record for total yards in a season with 6,431.[5][6] He led Cajon to another CBL title as a senior in 2018 before falling to Sierra Canyon in the CIF-SS Division 3 championship.[7] He was named the men's recipient of the Ken Hubbs Award, given annually the top high school athletes in the greater San Bernardino area, following the season.[8]

He played 53 games at Cajon and set CIF-SS records with 211 touchdowns (170 passing, 41 rushing) and 17,642 career yards (14,007 passing, 3,635 rushing).[5][8] Daniels also participated in hurdling and the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay sprints at the school.[9][10] Ranked the top dual-threat quarterback prospect of his class by 247Sports,[11] he participated in the 2018 Elite 11 quarterback skills competition and threw two touchdowns in the 2019 Under Armour High School All-America Game.[12][13] Daniels received 25 college football offers before choosing the Sun Devils of Arizona State University in December 2018.[5] He graduated from Cajon and enrolled in January 2019.[5]

Daniels, named the starter for the 2019 season, was the first Sun Devils freshman quarterback to start opening week.[14] In Week 8, he suffered a minor knee injury against the UCLA Bruins that forced him to sit the following week.[15] In Week 13, Daniels was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week in an upset win against the Oregon Ducks, scoring three touchdowns and passing for 408 yards.[16] He was named the most valuable player (MVP) of the 2019 Sun Bowl in a win over the Florida State Seminoles, finishing the season with 17 touchdowns and 2,943 yards, the latter being a school record for a freshman.[17][18] Daniels was also named a semifinalist for the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) freshman of the year award.[19]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Daniels and the Sun Devils played only four games in the 2020 season. One of the games included a 70–7 win against the Arizona Wildcats, the most points scored by a team in the history of the state rivalry.[20] He led the Pac-12 in completion percentage (65.4) for the 2021 season, throwing for 2,381 yards with 10 touchdowns and rushing for 710 yards with 6 touchdowns en route to an appearance in the 2021 Las Vegas Bowl against the Wisconsin Badgers.[21][22] Due to significant coaching staff turnover following the season, in which several had been fired following an NCAA investigation into the team for COVID-related recruiting violations, Daniels entered the transfer portal in February 2022.[23] His mother Regina was later implicated in helping arrange unofficial visits for recruits.[24]

Daniels was selected second overall by the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL draft.[42] He was the second of six quarterbacks (QB) taken in the first round, tying the 1983 draft for the most in NFL history.[43] In his rookie offseason, Daniels and former LSU teammate Malik Nabers received training from the league on its gambling policy for proposing a friendly $10,000 bet on who would be named Offensive Rookie of the Year.[44][45] He acquired his college uniform number 5 in a deal with Tress Way, who had worn it with the team since 2014.[46] Daniels signed his four-year rookie contract, worth $37.75 million fully guaranteed, on June 14, 2024.[47] He was named the Commanders' starting quarterback near the end of training camp.[48]

In the 2024 season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Daniels became the first NFL quarterback to rush for over 80 yards with two touchdowns in his NFL debut.[49][50] He won his first game the following week against the New York Giants.[51] In Week 3, Daniels was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after setting an NFL rookie and Commanders franchise record with a 91.3% completion percentage on 23 attempts along with 293 total yards and three touchdowns in a win against the Cincinnati Bengals.[52][53] The following week against the Arizona Cardinals, he became the first player to complete at least 85 percent in consecutive games.[a][54] Daniels was named Offensive Rookie of the Month for September after completing the highest percentage of passes (82.1) over a four game span in NFL history, with more scoring drives led (23) than incomplete passes thrown (19).[55] He was the first rookie to have 1,000 passing yards and 250 rushing yards through his first five games.[56]
