Washington Commanders Make Waves with Offseason Acquisitions
In a flurry of post-draft activity, the Washington Commanders have made significant strides in bolstering their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Led by offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who brings with him a wealth of experience from his stint at USC last season, the Commanders are setting their sights on a revamped offensive approach.
One notable addition to the roster is running back Austin Jones, who joins the team as an undrafted free agent. Jones, a versatile playmaker, showcased his skills during his time at both Stanford and USC. With 1,182 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns under his belt, Jones brings a potent rushing threat to the Commanders’ backfield.
Joining Jones in Washington is former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman, whose arrival adds depth and competition to the quarterback position. With his experience and skill set, Hartman could provide a valuable asset to the Commanders’ offensive arsenal.
In addition to Jones and Hartman, the Commanders have welcomed a host of other players to their roster. Arizona running back Michael Wiley, Pittsburgh cornerback A.J. Woods, Texas Tech safety Tyler Owens, and Colorado State cornerback Chigozie Anusiem are among the new faces set to don the burgundy and gold next season.
Furthermore, the Commanders have secured the services of Iowa State safety Ben Nikkel, Virginia Tech defensive tackle Norell Pollard, Toledo tackle Ben Nikkel,, Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and UCLA tight end Colton Yankoff. This diverse group of talents adds depth and versatility to the team across various positions, providing Head Coach Ron Rivera with a plethora of options as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
As the Commanders continue to shape their roster during the offseason, anticipation builds among fans eager to see how these new additions will mesh with returning players and contribute to the team’s success on the field. With a mix of experience, talent, and potential, the Commanders are poised to make waves in the upcoming NFL season.
