Nick Cross is turning a Commanders weakness into Daronte Jones’ weapon
The Washington Commanders' defense has quietly improved in recent weeks, allowing no more than 23 points in any of its last four games. At the heart of it all has been a player who looks like one of general manager Adam Peters' sneakiest free-agent signings.
Safety Nick Cross hails from Bowie, Maryland, and he played for the Maryland Terrapins in college. Now with his hometown club, he's making an impact that's hard to deny.
Cross hasn't filled up the stat sheet for the Commanders, but he's getting the job done. And against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, he did a little bit of everything.
