Love this kid, and he actually has me cheering for life long hated Washington.
Using 3d VR technology he's completely revolutionizing QB training and game prep, college and pros.
Daniels trains every morning at 6 am with VR goggles going through the game at 2X game speed. His offensive plays are in the system and they download the defenses of the opponent into the system. So when he plays the game it is 1/2 the speed and he knows the defense. Apparently crowd and noise is also in the system.

Using the StatusPro Visualizer, Orlovsky stepped into Daniels’ shoes to analyze the sequence as it unfolded. He began by highlighting Daniels’ initial pre-snap read. Through the virtual reality recreation, it was clear that Daniels first scanned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive alignment, recognizing no immediate blitz threat from their four-man front. Confident he had time to make the play, Daniels turned his attention to the coverage.
Through the VR perspective, Orlovsky showed how McLaurin, isolated on the outside, appeared to be an appealing option. However, with safety Antoine Winfield Jr. positioned nearby and another safety over the top, Daniels ruled out the direct throw to McLaurin. Instead, he identified the back quadrant of the end zone as the most vulnerable spot in the Buccaneers zone coverage.
“The virtual reality lets you see exactly what Daniels saw,” Orlovsky explained. “He processes the absence of a blitz, the positioning of the safeties, and knows where the opportunity lies. This is elite-level processing, happening in seconds.”
The play design revolved around two key elements: McLaurin’s route to the back of the end zone and Austin Ekeler’s quick checkdown release to influence the inside linebacker. Orlovsky demonstrated how Daniels’ use of eye manipulation, shown through the VR recreation, held the linebacker just long enough to clear the passing lane.
“Daniels uses his eyes to sell the checkdown to Ekeler,” Orlovsky said. “The VR shows how he manipulates that linebacker’s vision, pulling him forward and creating the space needed for McLaurin to break open in the end zone.”
Daniels’ execution was flawless. Through the StatusPro Visualizer, viewers could see how he released a perfectly placed throw to McLaurin—high enough to avoid defenders, low enough for McLaurin to secure it. “We tell quarterbacks to aim for belt or lower, face mask or higher,” Orlovsky noted. “Daniels put it right on McLaurin’s face mask. The ball placement was perfect, and McLaurin didn’t have to adjust.”
The touchdown marked Daniels’ fifth go-ahead passing score in the fourth quarter or overtime this season, tying an NFL rookie record. His chemistry with McLaurin has become one of the Commanders’ most reliable weapons, and their connection will be vital as Washington sets its sights on the next round of playoffs against the Detroit Lions.
(this may be old news on the board but not to this old.)
