Can a game-changing running back make a good Commanders team great?

Most fans and media talking-heads will agree that Washington has a pretty good football team. Much of that centered around the phenomenal play of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2024, but there are other factors too.

New general manger Adam Peters brought in players with high football IQ’s, leadership skills, big-game experience and talent. Head coach Dan Quinn instilled a sense of brotherhood and accountability in the locker room and that carried over to the field. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury tailored an offense around the strengths of his rookie passer, instead of the previous regime trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
