The Washington Commanders have been busy on the practice field, working out 10 players as part of their training camp. Among those players is a notable name – the son of NFL legend John Riggins.
It was a packed day in Ashburn on Saturday, with fans in attendance for the first time this season. The Commanders' practice field was buzzing with energy as the team prepared for the new season. Washington president Mark Clouse introduced two Pro Football Hall of Famers, John Riggins and Darrell Green, to the fans before the practice session.
The Commanders' general manager Adam Peters and his staff were also hard at work, evaluating the new recruits. The team worked out a total of 10 players, including some notable names. One of the most recognizable names is E.J. Warner, the son of two-time NFL MVP and Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner.
Warner has a strong football background, having started 41 collegiate games between Temple, Rice, and Fresno State. His experience and skills will likely make him a strong contender for a spot on the team. The Commanders are looking to strengthen their quarterback position, and Warner's presence could be a significant boost.
Another player who has caught the attention of the Commanders' staff is Trey Hill, a center who has played for the University of Georgia. Hill has spent time with four NFL teams and was most recently waived by the Tennessee Titans. His experience and skills make him a strong candidate to fill the Commanders' center position.
The Commanders are also looking to strengthen their tight end position, and they may have found a solution in Donald Parham. Parham has been in the NFL since 2019 and has 67 career receptions and 11 touchdowns, all with the Chargers from 2020-23. His experience and skills make him a strong contender for a spot on the team.
The Commanders' defensive coordinator Daronte Jones may also have a familiar face on his team, with the signing of Eli Ricks. Ricks is a former five-star recruit who began his college career at LSU before finishing at Alabama. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 as an undrafted free agent and was waived last season.
The Commanders' work is not yet done, with many more players to be evaluated and potentially signed. The team will continue to work through their training camp, with the goal of building a strong and competitive roster.
