According to an article I saw recently, Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders quarterback, has been integrating a VR headset developed by a German company to simulate real game scenarios. By customizing AI-driven defensive schemes, he’s able to rack up hundreds of extra mental and physical “reps” without risking injury—far beyond what’s possible in normal on-field practice. According to Daniels, he can now read NFL defenses significantly faster because the simulation lets him face defenders moving at speeds far exceeding typical game conditions. Essentially, he’s getting used to worst-case (or, at least, fastest-case) scenarios in a risk-free environment, so Sunday’s real-life speed feels manageable by comparison.
