With Washington Commanders veterans currently navigating the early stages of training camp, all fans are wondering which players can improve their position on the depth chart between now and the start of the 2025 season.
Most of the attention will be drawn towards those who are merely trying to make the roster, the late-round picks, and undrafted free agents looking to establish a name for themselves. But there are also backups with secure roles who could play their way into something bigger.
If you're looking for one such candidate on the Commanders, it might be second-year defensive tackle Johnny Newton.
