With the 2023 NFL Draft in the books, the Washington Commanders turned their attention to fleshing out some talent that did not get selected over the weekend. They announced the signing of twelve undrafted free agents on Monday.
The burgundy and gold did not sign a single pass catcher in this year’s draft, so perhaps it’s not a surprise that five of those twelve UDFA’s were wide receivers. They also added four defensive backs, a quarterback, an offensive lineman and a defensive end.
Several of the players that were selected, excelled academically at their schools. That is clearly a concerted effort and not a coincidence.
