Jayden Daniels will be following in the footsteps of his childhood favorite, Donovan McNabb, when he takes the field for the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. A photo posted by the NFL on Thursday shows Daniels rocking McNabb's No. 5 Philadelphia jersey as a child.

McNabb's influence on Daniels was clear, as the rookie mentioned in an interview that he chose No. 5 as his college jersey because of McNabb. McNabb started three NFC Championship Games in his home stadium during his Eagles tenure, winning one. Daniels will have a chance to do the same on Sunday as a member of the visiting team.
