"Commanders need to find out what they have in Kain Medrano Washington has nothing to play for in its season finale except for draft position and bragging rights. This is a game in which veteran players should be getting a lighter workload, and the youngsters should see the field as often as possible. One of those players in question is Medrano, who has yet to see his first defensive snap of 2025."
"The former UCLA Bruin has had a solid season on special teams. It was against the Eagles two weeks ago that he recorded his highlight of the year, recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff. His snap counts have steadily increased, playing a season-high 24 against the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day. Now he needs to take the next step. Dan Quinn has done a good job of getting Washington's other young linebacker, Jordan Magee, more involved."
Washington's 2025 rookie class has produced several impactful players, including Josh Conerly Jr., Jaylin Lane, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Sixth-round linebacker Kain Medrano has primarily played on special teams and has yet to record a defensive snap. Medrano recovered a fumble on an opening kickoff against Philadelphia and reached a season-high 24 snaps against Dallas. Washington enters Week 18 with nothing to play for beyond draft positioning and should prioritize developing young players. Dan Quinn has increased Jordan Magee's defensive role, but roster changes and limited workloads for veterans like Bobby Wagner create an opportunity for Medrano to earn defensive snaps.
