The Washington Commanders have had a lot of change on the defensive line this offseason.

Despite the changes, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn still believes that unit can be one of the best in the NFL.

Commanders defensive line due for improvement

"I'm really excited about competition, and it really does kind of foster an environment where it's so competitive and you're pushing for it. The best teams that I’ve been a part of have that. And at the line of scrimmage that's so important of how we want to go and how we want to play," Quinn said.

"And so, I love the guys that we've added, we certainly did a lot of research on who they were, not just as ball players, but as men and teammates. And so that was really important for us, how important our locker room and our attitude and who we are and what we want to be. That was really important part of it too. So, we're excited to add these guys to the crew."

The Commanders will have a chance to add even more to the defensive line during the 2025 NFL Draft from April 24-26.
