Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has found former NFL quarterback great Tom Brady in his corner.
Brady, who won seven Super Bowls in 23 seasons, has been in the broadcast booth with FOX during the past two seasons. He has caught several of Daniels' games, and the two have connected off the field, Daniels told Kay Adams of the Up & Adams Show podcast.
"If I need to call him (Brady) to ask him a lot of different questions about stuff, he is there to answer the phone," Daniels said. "So I do have a relationship with Tom."

That said, it's only so in-depth. Brady, of course, has a wealth of knowledge from his New England Patriots days with former head coach Bill Belichick for 20 seasons in addition to his final three years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"We haven't gotten to the point of watching tape, but I would," Daniels said.
Daniels and Brady have developed the relationship from production meetings with the three-time MVP. Those meetings are "chill," as Daniels explained to Adams.
"He doesn't really get too much into quarterback mode — he switches his mind, you know? He's asking the right questions and stuff like that,” Daniels said. "But it's good to have a relationship with Tom. I love it."
Brady played in the league from 2000 to 2022 after the Patriots took him with a sixth-round pick out of Michigan. That's quite the opposite of Daniels, who went to the Commanders as the No. 2 pick, and he led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game as a rookie.
In two seasons, Daniels has a 66.6% completion rate for 4,830 yards and 33 touchdowns versus 12 interceptions. He has rushed for 1,169 yards and eight touchdowns on 206 carries in that span.
Daniels looks to do more of the same in 2026, as he looks to bounce back from an injury-riddled 2025 season.
