Commanders' 'Best Offseason Move' Low-Hanging Fruit

Commanders' 'Best Offseason Move' Low-Hanging Fruit

Commanders' 'Best Offseason Move' Low-Hanging Fruit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders weren't the squashbuckling team that added a host of free agents and had over 10 draft picks this offseason, but that doesn't mean it wasn't productive. Advertisement In fact, one could argue that this offseason was better than the one 12 months ago. Granted, that is in the eye of the beholder, and the roster is in a different spot than a year ago. But with only two big moves made, with Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil traded for to fill two key offensive positions, finding Washington's best piece of business isn't too hard. CBS Sports has landed on the trade for Samuel. "Is Samuel a durable game-breaker going on 30? Maybe," CBS Sports wrote. "Maybe not. Still, Washington added the former 49ers star for a single fifth-round pick. That's a potential steal given his fit as a rugged multipurpose weapon opposite the field-stretching Terry McLaurin. It's just nice to see this team isn't sitting on its hands with the dynamic Jayden Daniels under center." Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuels (L) and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (R) wave to the crowd from courts wide during the game between the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream at CareFirst Arena. Geoff Burke-Imagn Images What Deebo could do for an offense that was equally as dangerous running or passing the football last season is tantalizing. Advertisement As a runner, Samuel can be the power-packed weapon who can pick up tough yards, but also break the odd 20+ yard run. As a receiver, his YAC ability is something that causes defensive coordinators to have sleepless nights due to his tough running style and ability to stand up in tackles and fall forward for extra yards, a notable feature. Yes, Tunsil will protect Daniels better than Brandon Coleman, but Deebo will be where all the eyes are in 2025 as he could be the lightning rod that propels this team to Super Bowl glory.

Kyle Larson unhurt in violent sprint car crash

NASCAR star Kyle Larson escaped uninjured from a violent crash on Friday night in a sprint car race in Wisconsin. The former Cup Series champion was running second in a World of Outlaws race at the Plymouth Dirt Track when his winged vehicle flipped end-over-end before slamming into the catch fence. Larson, 32, who was able to climb out of the car unscathed, said that the right rear axle 'or something' broke. 'It just kind of launched me, and I was along for the ride,' he said, per 'Bummer, but I felt really good pacing Rico (Abreu) there and just finally catching traffic and get racing there. Glad I'm OK, big hit but all-in-all, feel fine.' In addition to racing stock cars and sprint cars, Larson has also competed in the Indianapolis 500 in each of the past two years. Larson is scheduled to be behind the wheel of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in Sunday's Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway. The 2021 Cup Series champion has three wins and 10 top-10 finishes this season and ranks second in the Cup standings, 48 points behind leader William Byron.
