Jayden Daniels' Commanders' Protection Still A Question Mark Ahead Of Training Camp

Last season, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels was sacked 47 times in the regular season, the sixth-most in football.

Given Jayden's slender build, that isn't ideal.

As such, general manager Adam Peters traded for five-time Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil to solidify the left tackle position, and in doing so, shifted left tackle Brandon Coleman out to right tackle.

Plus, the franchise drafted left tackle Josh Conerly Jr. to shore up the left side further, but for Pro Football Network, it is the right-hand side of Daniels' protection that is a worry.

"After trading for Laremy Tunsil this offseason, the Washington Commanders effectively fixed their need at LT," Pro Football Network writes. "Now, they’ll have to sort out their solution on the opposite end of the offensive line.

"Brandon Coleman was Washington’s starting left tackle year, and he remains a candidate to start at either left guard or at right tackle. Andrew Wylie is the incumbent starter at RT, though he didn’t play very well in 2024. First-round rookie Josh Conerly Jr. projects as the long-term starter but is not a natural right tackle and could sit to start 2025."
