"This has never been in doubt over the past couple of seasons in Washington. But after a successful return from injury, the national media is now starting to give Sam Cosmi the respect the fans have demanded. Cosmi spent the early part of the campaign recovering from a torn ACL. When the stud right guard did return, he didn't skip a beat, providing assured pass protection and dominant run-stopping capabilities that nobody who replaced the lineman provided."
"Coming off a torn ACL late last season, [Sam] Cosmi returned to form as one of Washington's most consistent players in 2025. He finished as the team's third-highest-graded offensive player (76.4), posting 72.0-plus grades in both pass blocking and run blocking. Cosmi allowed just 11 pressures and two sacks on the season and closed the year with six consecutive games without allowing a pressure."
Washington finished 5-12 in 2025, but Sam Cosmi emerged as a key building block after returning from a torn ACL. Cosmi shifted to the interior and provided consistent pass protection and dominant run defense, delivering performance levels not matched by his replacements. Pro Football Focus awarded Cosmi a 76.3 overall grade (ranked 10th among qualifying guards) and noted 72.0-plus marks in both pass and run blocking, with just 11 pressures and two sacks allowed. Cosmi finished with six straight games without allowing a pressure and ended the season on precautionary injured reserve.
