Commanders' Josh Harris reacts to Jayden Daniels playing flag football

Josh Harris probably never watched flag football so closely in all of his life. Last weekend, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was on a field playing flag football. Keep in mind, this is grown men running around without helmets.

A collision of heads unprotected by helmets could easily be a devastating type of injury. So, can't you imagine last week Josh Harris, Mitchell Rales, and Mark Ein all watching from home, literally squirming in their comfortable chairs, anxiously hoping Daniels was not injured? The three primary Commanders owners had not made any public comments last week, but you have to wonder, what did they express to each other last week?

If Daniels out there playing quarterback wasn't enough for Harris, then he had to see his franchise quarterback lining up at receiver. Monday at the NFL Owners meetings, Harris brought up how he felt when he saw Jayden Daniels lining up at WR in the flag game: “I'm not going to say I wasn’t nervous… I'm glad he got through that one. ” Also said: “Jayden is someone I trust…" A lot of talk about the importance of trust from the Commanders’ managing partner, Josh Harris.

All the money Harris and his fellow owners have invested in Daniels and the Commanders' future, yet Daniels wanted to play flag football?
