The rookies are in town and practicing!
The Washington Commanders drafted 9 players last weekend. They also signed 12 UDFAs and had an additional 9 tryout players in Ashburn today for rookie mini-camp. Today’s practice is in the bubble due to the weather.

Johnny Newton on the side field in a boot:
This is my favorite Commanders clip of the day.
2nd round pick @Johnny5Newton didn’t practice, still recovering from foot surgery.
But that didn’t stop him from working on his hand technique during pass rush drills.
Can’t wait to see him on the field! pic.twitter.com/hVE6Ky2GZ3

Update: Newton is here inside the bubble (rainy day in Ashburn). On the sideline at the start and I’m guessing throughout. https://t.co/VyGPLTgnmt

Sure, there is a TON of buzz for Jayden Daniels.
But, I think the X factor in this Commanders draft class is going to be @b_coleman77.

David Nwaogwugwu:
One Commanders rookie I didn’t get to mention that really impressed me was OT David Nwaoghwugwu. Lot of energy and leadership. Worth watching through summer. This guy seems like a baller.
