Commanders' not-so-silent enforcer finally gets the recognition fans demanded

Throughout the Washington Commanders' magical 2024 season, arguably none of the team's new additions — aside from quarterback Jayden Daniels, of course — endeared himself to fans more than linebacker Frankie Luvu.

The veteran hard-hitter signed as a free agent after three seasons with the New York Jets and three more with the Carolina Panthers. It's safe to say that Luvu's impact was immediate.

He recorded a career-high eight sacks while emerging as the emotional heartbeat of the Commanders' defense. Luvu was named a second-team All-Pro for his efforts and propelled himself into a franchise cornerstone.
