"As the offense continues to build around Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders will continue to search for ways to add speed, flexibility, and mismatch potential to the middle of their offense. With an expected emphasis on spacing, pre-snap disguise, and forcing defenses into unfavorable personnel decisions from offensive coordinator David Blough in 2026, Washington profiles as a strong landing spot for an athletic tight end who can function as a movable chess piece."
"Positives: - Above-average athlete for the tight end position with smooth movement skills.- Effective seam and over-the-middle target who can stress linebackers in coverage.- Alignment versatility: slot, wing, H-back, and detached usage.- Fluid route runner who creates separation with tempo and leverage.- Acceleration after the catch makes him dangerous on crossers and leak concepts. Klare's athletic profile would allow Washington to expand the middle-of-the-field to create matchup stress against less athletic LBs and nickel cornerbacks."
The Washington Commanders aim to add speed, flexibility, and middle-of-field mismatch potential while building the offense around Jayden Daniels. Offensive coordinator David Blough will emphasize spacing, pre-snap disguise, and forcing defenses into unfavorable personnel decisions in 2026. Ohio State tight end Max Klare measures 6'0¾", 244 pounds with an expected 40-yard dash of 4.58–4.65 and was a rotational contributor with efficient big-play production. Klare offers alignment versatility (slot, wing, H-back, detached), smooth athleticism, fluid route running, seam effectiveness, and after-the-catch acceleration. He needs development as an inline blocker, more consistent snap-to-snap impact, and refinement against man coverage. Klare projects as a middle-round, movable chess piece in space.
