Two Commanders, including Jayden Daniels, named best on this unique list
CBS recently conducted an exercise, picking the best NFL player with each jersey number from 0 - 99. Daniels was named the best No. 5 in the NFL.
There are more established candidates here -- Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Drake London and Jalen Ramsey among them. But let's be honest: No. 5 belongs to Daniels as long as he's even half as magical as he was during his unflappably dynamic debut. He's already the face of the Commanders.
There are some excellent No. 5s here, led by Ramsey, a potential future Hall of Famer. However, none are quarterbacks. While he's only been in the NFL one year, Daniels made his mark, leading the Commanders to their best season in 33 years and winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Daniels wasn't the only Commander to make this list. Tight end Zach Ertz was named the best No. 86:
Fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid seemed like a real candidate to steal this one by catching passes from Josh Allen, but Ertz has actually been steadier, even going on 35. He's up over 1,100 career receptions.
Ertz revived his career with the Commanders last season and was excited to continue playing another season with Daniels as his quarterback. Ertz enters his 13th NFL season with 775 career receptions.
In case you were wondering why Terry McLaurin wasn't named the best No. 17, we have two words for you: Josh Allen.

Is a breakout season coming for Jets RB Braelon Allen?
New York Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen was among the team's surprise performers in 2024. The fourth-round selection quickly earned reps in a backfield that was supposed to be dominated by Breece Hall. Allen concluded his first season by rushing for 334 yards and two touchdowns, adding 148 receiving yards and an additional score to his offensive totals. There's reason to believe Allen will continue elevating his performance as a sophomore in 2025. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand helped oversee a Detroit Lions offense that leaned on two running backs to be productive. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn also had a front-row seat to the David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs tandem. Advertisement Pro Football Focus recently compiled a list of five sophomore players who are second-year breakout candidates for fantasy football purposes. Allen made the cut. "Allen averaged a low 3.6 yards per carry, but he graded well thanks to his excellent play in short-yardage situations," Nathan Jahnke wrote. "Allen ran the ball 16 times when the Jets needed two yards or less for a first down, and he converted 14 of them. He averaged 3.3 yards per carry on those runs, while the league average was 3.2. His 90.0 rushing grade on those runs was the best among running backs. "The goal is for Allen to be the next David Montgomery. The coaching staff needs to use him in that role, the offense needs to play well enough for Allen to score enough points, and Justin Fields can't be used on the tush push. While that is a lot, there is similarly a lot for any other late-round running back, and this one doesn't require an injury to a starter." It's fair to assume the Jets will attempt to use Allen in the Montgomery role. Expect a run-heavy offense with Engstrand running the show, and a dual-threat Justin Fields under center. Allen could enjoy a breakout campaign in a hyper-specific role. This article originally appeared on Jets Wire: PFF: Breakout season coming for Jets RB Braelon Allen

Sean Payton praises Broncos' 3rd-year weapon
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims made an instant impact on special teams as a rookie, earning a Pro Bowl nod and second-team All-Pro selection as a returner in 2023. Mims did not have a large role on offense, but that changed during his second season. The 23-year-old speedster ended last season with 545 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns (a big increase from his one offensive touchdown in 2023). 'We saw him take a big step in the middle of the year," Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Mims this spring. As the team started giving Mims more snaps -- including reps at running back -- he flourished. 'I've said this to you before: Confidence is born out of demonstrated ability," Payton said last month. "You guys have done this long enough. You've seen people, athletes grow up right in front of your eyes. That began not just at the end of the season. That began early part of the middle [of the] season. You could see it and certainly feel it now.' Mims made the Pro Bowl again last season and was named a first-team All-Pro. Through his first two years in the NFL, Mims has 2,263 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns. He has emerged as an all-around weapon for Denver, and Mims continues to trend up going into Year 3.

Did NFL offseason change list of contenders? Plus Wimbledon upsets continue
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Hang onto your best players today. NFL training camps open this very month, with most teams reporting in full around July 22. Every NFL offseason is a spectacle, and this one felt especially dramatic, at least to us at Pulse HQ. The Shedeur Sanders draft plummet happened. The QB carousel spun almost literally to no end, thanks to Aaron Rodgers. Stefon Diggs signed a big deal in New England and then took a nice ride on a boat. There was an exceedingly rare trade not only of veteran players for one another, but two All-Pros, Jalen Ramsey and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Advertisement The NFL (and we in the sports media, too) loves the circus. But on the verge of camp, has it struck anyone else just how little this offseason seemed to change the league's pecking order? The five teams with by far the best Super Bowl odds, per BetMGM, are the Eagles, Ravens, Bills, Chiefs and Lions. Four of those were also in the top five at this time last year. The only difference is the Bills more or less swapping places with the 49ers (second-best odds last year, now sixth). Not that the Bengals or Commanders couldn't crash the party, but it sure feels like not a lot has changed. Am I too dismissive? I asked some The Athletic football writers if I'm missing anything. Scoop City (subscribe for free to the NFL newsletter) author Jacob Robinson: 💬 After Denver improved in nearly every facet this offseason, expect the Broncos to look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They'll get a chance to prove it in Week 5, when they visit the Eagles. Senior writer Jourdan Rodrigue: 💬 I don't think people are loud enough about ranking the Buccaneers in the contenders category. They have a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who is playing the best football of his career (though can be erratic), one of the best offensive lines, one of the best (and deepest) receiving corps and an emerging run game. The injury-luck pendulum may swing back in favor of their defense this season and give that group an overall lift. This team is well-built and will score points, with plenty of attitude. Don't overlook them! Yo-ho, yo-ho. PSG, Real Madrid advance in CWC In yesterday's Club World Cup quarterfinal action, PSG prevailed over Bayern Munich in a chaotic affair — unfortunately dampened by a horrific injury — while Real Madrid escaped a late flurry from Borussia Dortmund thanks to an incredible goal from Kylian Mbappe. Despite all the controversy surrounding the tournament, the product on the field has been legitimately good. So, are American fans flocking to watch the best teams in the world in action? Nope. Tickets for the Club World Cup's first semifinal dropped to $13.40 yesterday after having been priced at $473.90 (!) less than 72 hours earlier. That's less than a beer inside MetLife Stadium. Former champs out of Wimbledon Defending champion Barbora Krejčíková was bounced by American Emma Navarro in yesterday's Wimbledon action shortly after 2022 winner Elena Rybakina met a similar fate — the latest in a string of surprising results in the women's draw. The favorites on the men's side cruised yesterday, as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner both played near-perfect tennis. Plenty more updates from the All England Club in our Day 6 recap here.
