The Washington Commanders had a surprise visitor during a pre-practice meeting on Wednesday.
Magic Johnson, who is a member of the ownership group that completed a purchase of the Commanders from Dan Snyder this offseason, spoke to the team for the first time.
"We're just so fortunate as players to have a guy like that who's part of the organization," Commanders quarterback Sam Howell told reporters.
Per Stephen Whyno of NBC Washington, Howell added that Johnson spoke to the team about business and what it takes to be a winning franchise.
"It was awesome, man, just to be able to hear what he had to say and be able to ask him questions at the end and pick his brain," Howell said.
