Offensive line coach Bobby Johnson emphasized Laremy Tunsil's proactive approach in reaching out to rookie Josh Conerly after the 2025 NFL draft. Tunsil's leadership could significantly influence Conerly's growth as a player. Despite Tunsil being traded from Houston due to a desire for a younger offensive line and cultural concerns, the Commanders are optimistic about his ability to enhance their offensive line and protect quarterback Jayden Daniels for the upcoming season. Tunsil is seen as a stabilizing presence in an evolving offensive unit.
"He was the first guy to reach out to Josh when Josh got drafted... you see a guy who is willing to be a leader and how he can help this young guy."
"Houston preferred going younger at offensive tackle and didn't want to give Tunsil (31 in August) another lucrative extension. The Commanders were thrilled to land Tunsil to protect quarterback Jayden Daniels' blind side."
