Darrick Forrest's presence at Safety is being felt in several ways. But more importantly, his ability to turn offenses over will quickly become a threat to quarterbacks.
Darrick Forrest Jr. continues to ascend in the Commanders defense, and it could not be better timing for their unit. Forrest hauled an interception against the Houston Texans, his third of the season and second in two games. NFL defensive coaches constantly search for an “eliminator” to play center field for their team. Someone with the athletic ability, mental processing, and ball skills to make quarterbacks second-guess their decisions to target the third-level because the single-high safety can make them pay due to the range he can cover.
