Daronte Jones will speak to the Washington Commanders' media for the first time next week. And the no-nonsense coach will waste no time in setting out his stall as he looks to get the team's defense on the platform to prosperity.
The Commanders have taken a big leap of faith with Jones. They tried hard to lure Brian Flores away from the Minnesota Vikings, but he returned to the NFC North club in a deal reportedly worth more than $6 million per season. Head coach Dan Quinn settled for his right-hand man, and there is an enormous sense of intrigue about what the first-time play-caller could bring to Washington.
