According to Matt Zenitz, the Commanders hired former NFL QB Danny Etling as their assistant quarterbacks coach.
This marks Etling’s first coaching role of his career.
Etling, 31, is a former seventh-round pick of the Patriots back in 2019. He agreed to a four-year, $2,564,028 contract that included a $104,028 signing bonus with the Patriots but was released coming out of the preseason.
The Patriots later re-signed Etling to their practice squad. New England re-signed Etling to a futures deal but he was, once again, waived and later claimed by the Falcons.
Atlanta brought Etling back on a futures contract in 2022 before waiving him after coming off their COVID-19 list. From there he had brief stints with the Seahawks, Vikings, Broncos, and Packers before returning to Atlanta to close out the season.
He caught on with the Packers again during training camp in 2022 and was later added to their practice squad.
During his college career at Purdue and LSU, Etling threw for 7,076 yards while completing 57.9 percent of his passes to go along with 43 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
