Josh Conerly Jr. says two key Commanders reached out after he was drafted

Josh Conerly Jr. arrived in Washington on Friday, one day after the Commanders used their first-round selection on the Oregon offensive tackle. Conerly, alongside general manager Adam Peters, met with the media on Friday.

Conerly described what was a whirlwind 18 hours, going from being drafted to being on a plane across the country with several of his family members. In the middle of those crazy 18 hours, Conerly received two calls from a pair of very important teammates.

"I actually got a FaceTime from Laremy Tunsil last night and I missed it because the celebration was like right after," Conerly said.
