"Adam Peters has had to rely on experienced 30-somethings at the tail-end of their respective careers to turn the Washington Commanders around. It's not the most productive way to start a long-term project, but the general manager knew it was a necessary evil after four years of terrible drafting from the previous regime. Nobody could argue with the early returns. They went from a disgraced bottom-feeder to the NFC Championship game in their first year under head coach Dan Quinn."
"Josh Conerly Jr. has overcome some early growing pains to become a force at the right tackle position. His technical prowess and play strength are improving. It's still early days, but his edge protection partnership with five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil has the scope to be prolific. In the receiver room, Luke McCaffrey is having a breakout campaign - both as a receiver and kick returner."
Adam Peters stabilized the roster by signing experienced 30-somethings after four years of poor drafting, creating immediate competitiveness. The team reached the NFC Championship and opened the current season 3-2 despite significant injury issues. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has leaned into youthful energy, maximizing inexperienced players and boosting the running game. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez Jr. are establishing the backfield alongside second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels, while Josh Conerly Jr. is developing into a reliable right tackle paired with Laremy Tunsil. Luke McCaffrey, rookie Jaylin Lane, Tay Martin, and Ben Sinnott are emerging as key contributors.
