Daron Payne’s breakout season has him in line for big payday, Commanders rethinking plan

ASHBURN — Daron Payne generally lets his “social media guys” handle his Twitter account. But when the Washington Commanders defensive tackle logged in to the platform the other week, he decided to change his profile picture to a popular meme.

Payne’s avatar is now an X-ray of a chest with a dog transposed in the image. Or in other words, he’s got that dawg in him.

“That was me,” Payne said with a smile. “For sure.”

Payne says he’s contemplating changing it again, but the picture is appropriate for the type of season that the 25-year-old is having.
