Commanders Dan Quinn Reveals 'Sled Dogs' Culture

The Washington Commanders new regime began with a flurry of activity in free agency, and with a new general manager in Adam Peters and head coach in Dan Quinn, the NFC East franchise knew exactly what type of player they were looking for.

It was a mix of veteran players like Bobby Wagner and ones who have been in the system for a few years, like Tyler Biadasz, who was signed to help usher in a new era in Washington and build a stable, winning culture.

Sitting at 8-5, the players brought in during free agency have done their part both on and off the field, and Quinn has revealed they've been driving forces in building the Commanders' new identity.

“Part of them being here, you don't want someone to come into a new spot and have to be somebody different, you wanted to make sure that they could be express exactly who they are," Quinn said. "Austin [Ekeler], Jeremy [Chinn], and Zach [Ertz] those are what I would consider the lead sled dogs, and when you get into December, January football, you lean on players like that, Terry McLaurin, Tyler Biadasz, and a number of different players saying I'll take that step with the guys, and I'll lead the way.”
