Commanders fans,
Brian Robinson Jr. is going to have a BIG year.
Listen to his words referring to last year.
BRob said, “Not one time I felt like Brian Robinson, that’s night and day from then to now. People should expect a lot of great things to come.”

The @Commanders really put on a show at training camp today.
From the time you walked through the gate, pre practice entertainment and football practice.
Greeted w/ smiles and a sense of pride. Very well put together with a ton of fans.

The Washington Commanders defense is ready to feast.
Daron Payne is hungry, believing in this group.
Daron said, “I want to go out there and take over games. I want us to be the most dominant group on the field.”

Cody Barton’s older brother plays for the Cardinals, so they may see each other Week 1.
Meanwhile, Cody’s dad & mom were both stud athletes (dad a minor leaguer, mom a college hooper), his sister is a pro volleyball player and his younger bro is a LB at Utah.

Leading rushers in the Indy Colts era:
1. Edgerrin James – let him walk in FA
2. Marshall Faulk – traded instead of new contract
3. Eric Dickerson – traded instead of new contract

2024 free agent running backs: Saquon Barkley. Josh Jacobs. Jonathan Taylor. Tony Pollard. Austin Ekeler. Maybe Dalvin Cook. Supply and demand is going to haunt a position that’s already facing a daunting road ahead. https://t.co/WbrKXbrLwu
