"[Leo] Chenal does it all. On special teams, he's a beast who can block kicks and force fumbles. He's a menace against the run and yet he's improved by leaps and bounds in coverage. He blitzes well, and [Steve] Spagnuolo loves to use him as a chess piece in myriad ways. Whoever lands him is going to get far more value than they bargained for, as I think Chenal's best is yet to come."
The Washington Commanders acquired linebacker Leo Chenal from the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $24.75 million contract. This move represents General Manager Adam Peters' continued focus on defensive reinforcements for new coordinator Daronte Jones. Chenal brings versatility and well-rounded skills to Washington's defense, excelling in run defense, coverage, blitzing, and special teams play. The former Wisconsin standout is considered underrated and capable of significant growth. Chiefs analyst Matt Conner emphasized Chenal's value, noting his ability to impact multiple facets of the game and suggesting his best performances remain ahead. The acquisition received widespread approval around the league.
