The Washington Commanders have undergone significant changes recently, with Adam Peters stepping in as general manager and Dan Quinn as head coach. Their collaboration led to the selection of quarterback Jayden Daniels as the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Together, they transformed the team's culture, culminating in an impressive 12-win season and a trip to the NFC Championship, marking the franchise's best performance in over three decades.

Despite this turnaround, Peters has not gained the recognition some believe he deserves, notably not being included in lists of top NFL GMs. The likes of Brandon Beane and Brett Veach have received accolades for their franchise-building efforts, while Peters’ relative inexperience seems to have contributed to his omission. Still, the Commanders remain focused on their goals, confident that success in the upcoming seasons will eventually earn Peters the accolades he merits.
