Last season, before the NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders took the quarterback contingency to TopGolf on their visit, They also ended up with the quarterback they wanted in Jayden Daniels.
The Commanders are hoping lightning strikes twice as they took their draft visitors to TopGolf again this season and look forward to the same draft success.
"For those wondering, yes, the Commanders did go back to Topgolf for their group visit with 20 or so prospects this evening, per source,” Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reported. “Despite the outside reaction to their joint QB visit to Topgolf ahead of last year’s draft, Adam Peters and Dan Quinn found it beneficial because players were more relaxed and they could see how players interacted with one another. The players also got individual time with coaches, just as they did this year.”
According to USA Today's Chris Bumbaca, Daniels was among 20 prospects who went to TopGolf with the Commanders. Other quarterbacks, such as JJ McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr., went as well.
From the second-overall pick last year to the 29th this year, the Commanders are sticking with what works.
The Commanders improved last season and came in second place in their division and made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game against the eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington is hoping to find offensive lineman and defensive players in this season's draft. They have a quarterback on a rookie contract and were able to spend some money in the offseason on free agents, but they still have holes on the defensive side of the ball to fill.
