The Washington Commanders are hosting a rookie minicamp over the next two days that will have their 9 UDFA signings, eight second-year players, their IPP player, and 21 tryout players. The roster is currently at 90 players, but that is fluid at this point. Tryout players are longshots to make any team’s roster, but there is always talent out there that is overlooked, and in need of one opportunity. Are any of those diamond in the roughs in Ashburn today?

It’s jersey number day for a lot of new Washington Commanders players. They only had six draft picks this year, and they all have their first number in the NFL. Sonny Styles was the Commanders first-round pick, and he gets a traditional LB number(52). Washington’s third-round pick, Clemson WR Antonio Williams, gets #14 to start his career. These numbers could change before the season starts, and we still have more rookie and veteran numbers to discover.
