Washington Commanders Rookie Free Agent Seen As Contender to Make 53-Man Roster - Athlon Sports

The Washington Commanders are gearing up for the upcoming season with a much-improved secondary, which ranked third in the league in 2024, a significant leap from its last-place finish in 2023. Under defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, the team's defensive unit has shown remarkable progress, allowing them to better compete against formidable division rivals like the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.

Key additions, including cornerback Marshon Lattimore, have bolstered their secondary, providing them with a stronger defensive backbone. With talented wide receivers such as CeeDee Lamb and A.J. Brown opposing them, the Commanders know that maintaining this defensive prowess is crucial to their success. As they prepare for the season, the synergy between their improved defense and an upgraded offense could be a game-changer.

What impact will the Commanders' improved secondary have on their playoff hopes?What can we expect from the Commanders against their division rivals?How does the Commanders' offensive strategy complement their defensive improvements?Who are the rising stars to watch in the Commanders' roster?
