"Cool dude but he talks a lot. He just be talking, 'Hey buddy.' I don't want to talk to you. I'll talk to you after the game, bro.""

He's a primary reason Washington (1-0), which plays at Green Bay on Thursday, is viewed as an NFC contender. Daniels was also the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year last season and has been mentioned as a potential league MVP this year."
