The rookies are in town and practicing!
The Washington Commanders drafted 8 players last weekend. They also signed 13 UDFAs and had an additional 16 tryout players in Ashburn today for rookie mini-camp.
Here’s the list of rookie camp participants. Includes several tryout players with local ties plus three roster holdovers: DL David Bada, DL Tyler Clark, G Nolan Laufenberg. https://t.co/Wa06yneJQ6 pic.twitter.com/NVmXnsMpCD
