Jayden Daniels and Commanders will host Bo Nix's Broncos in 2025

Two years after they shared a stage at the 2023 Heisman Trophy ceremony, quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix are set to face off on the field during the 2025 NFL season.

Daniels won the Heisman Trophy with 2,029 total points following the 2023 college football season. Nix (885 points) finished third in the voting behind Michael Penix (1,701 points) and Daniels.

Penix sat behind Kirk Cousins for most of his rookie year before starting the Atlanta Falcons’ final three games down the stretch. Nix had an impressive first year with the Denver Broncos, but it was Daniels who took home Rookie of the Year honors following his remarkable performance with the Washington Commanders in 2024.

Daniels (the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft) and Nix (the No. 12 pick) will always be connected. Next season, they will face off at Northwest Stadium when the Commanders host the Broncos on a to-be-announced date.
