[@Lopez818]

Looking forward to your video reacting to this interview lol Drake talking about Phillip almost sounds like him too! If he has any of that grit and tenacity we would need that in D.C.!!!

[@Craighomoffman]

He'll play at ~240lbs, similar to Big Ben. He's just a kid now.

[@keithcherry469]

I'll pass and hope I'm wrong in 3-5 yrs. He definitely has talent. The prototypical qb is out the window. He's more of a pocket passer with mobility, NOT WHEELS. Out of all the top teams in the league, they have running qbs who can throw well enough for a good system. He's an average passer who a can run a little. He's raw right now with good promise. #JD2DC

[@KennyMan_dmv202]

Jayden a better player/prospect/ and his cell is higher. he’s gotten better every year no regression📈Jayden is the #2 pick!

[@kevinroll8299]

He’s such a magnetic guy. I think he’s a great leader

[@natkongcole5909]

I like Jayden and Drake and will be happy with whomever we pick both young men present themselves well HTTC

This kid always has a smile on his face! I love it. Jayden always grumpy and Justin Herbert is too stoic

[@anthonynorman5531]

I really don't care who commanders pick at 2 I just hope he is our franchise qb

The more I see this guy! The more i need him to be the franchise in Washington! Please draft a True QB! Please!🙏

[@Halftime1]

@@justinmj6586 I watched a lot of his tape and disagree. He has some things to work on but it can be figured out, especially since he appears to have his head on his shoulders. Also, none of these other qbs dealt with the kind of adversity drake maye has. they all had stellar oline play and could wait for days to find an open receiver.

[@alexcarter1994]

Imagine saying this as if they haven’t overhauled the entire franchise over the last year top to bottom. They’re making positive noise across the league and have put countless people who are respected across the league in important decision making roles. I understand why you’d say this, given how the last 20-25 years have looked, but this organization they have in place right now is night & day compared to what they had in place prior.
