“Sam Hartman Will Lead Us to Glory”: Former Commanders Star Calls Rookie QB the Future of Washington’s Offense

   

As the 2025 NFL season heats up, all eyes are on rookie quarterback Sam Hartman, the latest hopeful for the Washington Commanders. But it's not just fans who are buzzing about Hartman's potential; former Commanders star and legendary quarterback, Joe Theismann, made a bold prediction that has left the league in shock.

“I truly believe Sam Hartman will lead us to glory,” Theismann stated in a recent interview. “He’s got the poise, the arm, and the intelligence to be a star in this league. I’ve watched him play, and I see something special in him that the Commanders haven’t had in years.”

Hartman, a standout during his college career, has come into the NFL with an air of confidence and the skills to back it up. His quick release, deep-ball accuracy, and ability to read defenses make him a dangerous asset for Washington’s offense. Under the guidance of head coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Hartman is being set up for immediate success.

Theismann’s words are nothing short of high praise, and they are a clear indication that Hartman has the potential to be the future of the franchise. With veterans like Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, and a revamped offensive line to work with, Hartman’s rookie year could very well set the tone for Washington’s future.

As training camp continues, fans are eager to see how Hartman performs under the bright lights of the NFL, but one thing is clear: the Commanders are betting big on their young quarterback to lead them back to prominence.
