It’s been another busy week for Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. The duo spent Monday and Tuesday at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting before hopping on a plane to Baton Rouge to watch LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels’ pro day.
Daniels is one of three quarterbacks under consideration for Washington’s first-round pick—No. 2 overall—after the Chicago Bears likely select USC quarterback Caleb Williams.
Washington attended Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s pro day last week in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and had dinner with him ahead of his workout.
Next up is North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye. The Tar Heels will hold their pro day on Thursday and, of course, Washington will be in attendance. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, along with Peters and Quinn, will meet with Maye on Thursday morning before his workout, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn, GM Adam Peters and OC Kliff Kingsbury will meet with North Carolina QB Drake Maye tomorrow morning, before Maye goes out and throws for scouts at his Pro Day, per sources.
Washington, like a lot of other teams, is coming in from Baton Rouge.

What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. This is another case in which Peters and the Commanders do their due diligence on each of the top prospects. Peters and Quinn said this week they have no clue who their pick would be if they had to choose right now. Considering how committed they are to the process, you should believe him. Every pro day, every meeting matters to Washington in its search for the next quarterback.
