Bobby Wagner is looking for a new deal. Will that come from the Commanders?
Schwesinger soared up draft boards thanks to a breakout campaign with the UCLA Bruins in 2024. The prospect was a relentless force in all phases, gaining 136 tackles, four sacks, nine tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and two interceptions. He’s got sideline-to-sideline range and plays with relentless aggression that will catch the eye of Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt Jr.
The Oaks Christian School product is a fluid mover in coverage, can rush the passer when the situation dictates, and boasts sound tackling technique. Schwesinger is a little undersized, so bulking up slightly in the pros would be beneficial. There’s also the question of whether his 2024 campaign was a flash in the pan or the start of something more.
Even if Wagner is retained, the Commanders could still draft Schwesinger. Having a year to learn from one of the greatest linebackers of the modern era would be highly advantageous for his long-term aspirations. Given the esteem in which he was held by coaches and teammates in college, he’d soak up every piece of information no matter how big or small.
The NFC Championship game between the Washington Commanders Philadelphia Eagles and the was filled with intense moments, but none stood out more than the heated exchange between Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
The Commanders and Eagles star players engaged in a physical and verbal battle throughout the NFC championship game, leading to comments from Brown that shed light on his perspective of Lattimore’s playing style and on-field persona.
Brown didn’t hold back when asked about his matchup against Lattimore during an appearance on the Kickin’ It with Dee podcast.“
During the NFC Championship game, tensions boiled over in the second quarter when Brown and Lattimore exchanged words after a Philadelphia one yard touchdown run. Lattimore, known for his ability to frustrate opponents, appeared to shove Brown after the whistle, leading to a brief scuffle before teammates and referees intervened.
Lattimore’s playing style has made him a polarizing figure in the league. While his aggressive nature is praised by Washington fans and teammates, it has also led to frequent clashes with opposing wide receivers. His history of on-field altercations includes notable dust-ups with players like Mike Evans and Justin Jefferson, further solidifying his reputation as a cornerback who embraces the physical and psychological aspects of the game.
Whether this strategy is effective or excessive remains a topic of debate, but one thing is certain—Marshon Lattimore remains one of the most challenging and controversial defenders in the NFL.
