Former Chiefs and Washington QB Alex Smith highlights what sets Mahomes and Daniels apart on their path to greatness in the NFL.

After leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC title game, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is every bit under the spotlight. The club hasn't been to the NFC title game since 1992, and Daniels took them there in his first NFL campaign.

Headed to the AFC’s Super Bowl qualifier, the Bills’ Josh Allen poses the roughest test for tacklers due to his rare blend of power and speed. He ran for two TDs last week as Buffalo weathered the rush threat of Lamar Jackson, the best rushing QB in NFL history. Allen, 28, led QBs in rushing success rate this season.
