The Washington Commanders selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. as the No. 29 overall pick to enhance their offensive line. Conerly Jr. expressed enthusiasm for contributing to the team and protecting last yearâs NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Jayden Daniels. Celebrating his family's support at the draft, he noted the significance of receiving the best offensive lineman honor at the Senior Bowl. Conerly demonstrated gratitude for the Commandersâ private jet service to transport him and his family and acknowledged the encouragement from Kliff Kingsbury regarding his talent.
"I'm here to win. I come from winning...Losing is foreign...I came here to win." - Josh Conerly Jr.
Conerly said he had an up and down week at the Senior Bowl, so it meant a lot for the defensive linemen and linebackers to vote him as the best offensive lineman that week.
Kliff Kingsbury left a note on Adam Peters' desk advocating for Conerlyâs draft, affirming the importance of having people who believe in you.
Conerly praised the Commanders for sending a private jet to Seattle for him and his family, calling it "pretty insane."
