Williams, Daniels, Maye and Nix all showed plenty of proof that they'll be long-term starters in the league, and Penix and McCarthy each have reasons to share in such belief. There is little doubt in my mind Daniels' rookie season was the real stuff, but it's worth remarking that just about everything broke well for Washington. Had you paused Bo Nix's rookie season after three starts, he would have been 1-2 as a starter with zero touchdown passes and four interceptions. Because his rookie season was so short, I don't want to draw any big career arc conclusions besides the obvious: Penix clearly has all the tools in the toolbox, and there's some sharpening still to do. Daniels, Williams and Maye invited pressures and risked taking sacks last season.
