The Washington Commanders made their number one priority this offseason crystal clear: protect quarterback Jayden Daniels.
That became obvious when they traded for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and even more so when they used their first-round draft pick on offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. Just like that, both edge positions were taken care of. Or so those in power hope.
Unfortunately, Conerly has seemed to hit a few snags in his adjustment to the pro level, leaving his path to start in Week 1 in sudden danger.
