Commanders 2024 position review | Running back

— Ekeler was limited during the regular season due to being placed in the concussion protocol twice, but he proved he is still an explosive weapon with the ball. His 521 yards after the catch ranked seventh among all running backs this season.

— It was another solid season overall for Robinson, despite missing three games. He hit a career-high in rushing yards and touchdowns, including a 40-yarder against the Tennessee Titans. Robinson also continued to be a physical presence that was hard to stop, as 421 of his yards came after contact.

Jayden Daniels on playing with poise, Kliff Kingsbury, and his favorite plays from his rookie year

At Scoop City’s Super Bowl LIX headquarters, we got some time with Daniels to discuss his first year in the NFL, working with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, what he thinks the Chiefs offense should focus on against the Eagles defense in Super Bowl LIX, and his favorite plays from the season.

Dianna: How would you describe Kliff Kingsbury as a playcaller when people ask you about him? How do you say it?

Jayden: Very creative and he wants the best for his players. Throughout the week, I’ll send clips of stuff that I think will work this week and he’ll put it in, or he’ll show me stuff and it’s like how did you even come up with that? Kliff, when he watches film, he watches all 32 teams and what they did. Kliff is crazy.

Dianna: For people that have been trying to figure out what it is about your relationship that works for you and Kliff, you obviously have tons of respect. You understand his experience, his intelligence. What do you think he did well, though, to put you in the position that you were in this year to make this transition look really smooth?

Jayden: I think we just had answers for different stuff. Passing-wise we had answers, or even a run game — I mean, with RPOs and stuff like that. In the passing game, we had answers for the different coverages they might show us. So it was like, if they want to go cover-2, we have an answer for this in this concept. He just gave me the freedom to go out there and be me, which was a big thing.

Former Cowboys TE Peyton Hendershot says Chiefs are about winning, Dallas about ‘extracurriculars’

Peyton Hendershot is the latest person to openly question the Dallas Cowboys culture.

It is not a secret that some former Dallas Cowboys players do not believe the team is all about winning. Consider when Cole Beasley left the team and noted that the Buffalo Bills had better facilities. That was...
