Jayden Daniels’ growth with VR simulation has Commanders embracing mind games. Six weeks into his rookie season, Daniels is the talk of the league and part of nascent MVP conversations. Perhaps the only thing quicker than Daniels’ accelerated growth is the speed at which he sets the VR simulation. That would be the highest possible setting. “It moves faster within the VR than actual human beings,” Daniels said before Washington opened the 2024 season. “Once you get out there, everything slows down. I know this is coming. I’ve seen this before, (and) it moved more than 20 times faster in VR.” The simulation from the German company Cognilize arrived on the LSU campus ahead of Daniels’ final season. The dual-threat quarterback became an immediate disciple of the immersive technology initially designed for top-shelf soccer players to get extra reps beyond practice without additional wear and tear. “It’s a unique technology, and it’s definitely for the quarterbacks,” Kingsbury said. “I think it is more effective than them just watching the film. They’re going through their reads, they’re going through their progressions, they’re seeing it.” |
I think when the tech gets good enough that a lot of teams and QBs will be using them.

So far, the proof is in the pudding. Jayden Daniels became the #2 overall pick. A meteoric rise in his draft stock at LSU after his previous stint in Arizona State. And there's a decent chance that Sy's new #1 QB prospect for 2025, Garrett Nussmeier, is also taking advantage of this same technology. He's been playing very well and could be on the radar as our top pick in the upcoming draft.
