Jayden Daniels will play alongside Tom Brady in the NFL legend’s controversial flag football game in Saudi Arabia.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which is taking place in Riyadh on March 21, is an exhibition event where some of the NFL’s biggest names will compete for three teams: the Founders, Mustangs and Wildcats.
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady, the face of the event, will captain the Founders and on Tuesday night he revealed that Daniels will be under center for the Wildcats.
The Commanders star missed much of the 2025 NFL season due to injury but he will join the likes of Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey and Tyreek Hill in the Middle East.
The quarterback for the Mustangs has not yet been revealed but a host of current and former NFL players are slated to take part.
They include CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys), Sauce Gardner (Colts), Myles Garrett (Browns), Brock Bowers, Maxx Crosby (both Raiders) and four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.

The teams are set to be led by Broncos coach Sean Payton, 49ers boss Kyle Shanahan and recently fired Raiders coach Pete Carroll.
Back in September it was claimed that several NFL owners are ‘expected’ to attend the event, which will see three teams compete in a five-on-five format across two 20-minute halves.
Rapper Travis Scott will perform at the event, which comes two years before flag football makes its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028.
As first revealed by the Daily Mail, Brady is considering a stunning return to the field for the Games and the 48-year-old teased an Olympic comeback on Tuesday night.
‘Maybe there’s a small chance that, if it goes well, we’ll see what happens in the Olympics,’ Brady said.
