"When Adam Peters made splash after splash in 2024 free agency for high-profile veterans such as Bobby Wagner, Zach Ertz, and Austin Ekeler, the addition of Frankie Luvu flew somewhat under the radar. But the undrafted free agent ended up being arguably Washington's most productive signing, compiling eight sacks and earning second-team All-Pro honors. More than that, Luvu emerged as the emotional heartbeat of Washington's defense."
"Luvu is the type of player who makes his entire team better when he's on his game. It's also why his slow start to 2025 is a concern. Through two games, he has registered only nine tackles and no sacks. Luvu has seldom been seen generating pressure, and his name has barely been mentioned by TV broadcasts. If you're new to the Commanders, you'd have a hard time knowing he's even on the team."
Washington suffered a primetime loss to Green Bay, struggling offensively, defensively, and on special teams with missed field goals. Multiple players and coaches must improve. Frankie Luvu, a quiet presence through two 2025 games, was a standout 2024 signing who produced eight sacks, earned second-team All-Pro honors, and served as the emotional heartbeat and enforcer of the defense. Luvu has recorded nine tackles and no sacks through two games, generated little pressure, and received limited broadcast attention. A return to Luvu's 2024 form would provide momentum, leadership, and improved defensive production for the Commanders.
