The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn, VA for Phase 3 of offseason activities(OTAs), and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr answered some questions about year two of his defense, and the changes that have happened since the end of the season.

Whitt said that Kinlaw will be used up and down the line, and Payne has been a leader by example during the offseason programs.
Marshon Lattimore hasn’t been with the team during the voluntary portions of the offseason workouts, but Whitt said that the team has been in communication with the former Pro Bowl cornerback. The team will see where Lattimore is when he gets there...
