Commanders' Daniels and Giants' Nabers call off their $10K bet between ex-LSU teammates

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Jayden Daniels feels his biggest challenge after being drafted second by the Washington Commanders to become their franchise quarterback is learning how to be a pro.

He learned an important lesson before throwing his first NFL pass.

Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, and former LSU teammate Malik Nabers, now a receiver with the division-rival New York Giants taken four picks later, said Friday they called off their $10,000 bet over who would be offensive rookie of the year.

“We were uneducated on the gambling policy in the NFL,” Daniels said after the first practice of the Commanders' rookie minicamp. “We learned about it last night. Me and him had a conversation, and we canceled the bet. Obviously we don’t want to get in trouble or anything.”
