Commanders WR Deebo Samuel picks his number and you can buy his jersey now
The Commanders will have a different player wearing No. 1 for the 2025 season.
Noah Igbinoghene, a cornerback who came to Washington for the 2024 season to rejoin head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr, wore No. 1 last season. Igbinoghene had been with Quinn and Whitt in Dallas for a single season (2023) and signed as free agent to play in the Commanders secondary last season, and chose to wear jersey No. 1 after wide receiver Jahan Dotson was traded.
Interestingly, Igbinoghene is returning for the 2025 season, having again signed to play with the Commanders. Consequently, he has apparently agreed not to wear No. 1 next season.
Deebo Samuel was traded by the 49ers to the Commanders for a fifth-round draft choice. Samuel wore No. 1 in his final season (2024) with the 49ers after wearing No. 19 during the 2019 through 2023 seasons in San Francisco. Samuel actually wore No. 1 in college, playing for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Samuel was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft at 36th overall.

In an interesting apparent coincidence, Igbinoghene and Samuel wore No. 19 before choosing to switch to No. 1. Igbinoghene with Dallas wore No. 19, and Samuel with the 49ers.
There is not much history of a successful Washington player wearing No. 1. Here are the most notable Washington players who wore No. 1.
Matt Turk (1995-99) Punter: achieved the most success wearing No. 1
Jahan Dotson (2022-23) Receiver
Reggie Roby (1993-94) Punter
DeAndre Carter (2021) Receiver
Noah Igbinoghene (2024) Cornerback

Jayden Daniels Aims Comical Remark at Commanders New Addition
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. During the 2024 season, the Washington Commanders saw the franchise's trajectory change in the blink of an eye. Now on a new course towards contention, the front office wasted little time making win-now moves in the offseason. Washington's offense went through a big change last season as former No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels took the reins at quarterback. He quickly took the league by storm, drastically improving the Commanders' play on the side of the ball with his combination of speed and throwing ability. Daniels' presence resulted in Washington winning double-digit games and punching their ticket to the postseason. The Commanders' run didn't end there, as Daniels was able to carry his positive momentum into the postseason. He helped Washington get within arm's reach of a Super Bowl appearance before getting eliminated at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JANUARY 18: Jayden Daniels #5 of the Washington Commanders warms up prior to playing the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Playoff at Ford Field on January 18, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan....

(Photo by) More Photo by/Newsweek/Getty Images Also read: Commanders Veteran Confident in Jayden Daniels' Continued Growth Following this deep playoff run, the front office quickly got to work making improvements. Their biggest swing in the offseason was trading for wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Paired with Terry McLaurin (whenever his holdout comes to an end), he will provide Daniels with a pair of wideouts capable of ripping off a big play at any moment. Still in the early stages of their time together, Daniels seems to approve of the Commanders' latest offensive addition. While at "Fanatic Fest" last week, the rising star gave his thoughts on Samuel entering the fold. Daniels jokingly said he can't wait for veteran WR to inflate his passing numbers with his dynamic skill set. "I'm excited to throw him a little screen and hopefully on the stat sheet it says a touchdown for 80 yards and I didn't have to do any of the work," Daniels said with a grin. Also read: Steelers Named Potential Suitor For Disgruntled Commanders Star Samuel, 29, is coming off a down year with the Niners to his standards. Across 15 appearances, he racked totaled 670 yards and three touchdowns. Both are the third-lowest marks for any given season in his career. Now with a chance of scenery, Samuel has a chance to get back in the conversation with the league's best wideouts. He is flanked by a young QB who is looking to make a name for himself and isn't scared to let the ball fly. Also, with McLaurin drawing attention from opposing secondary, lanes should open up for Samuel to impact games on a weekly basis. After being part of a handful of deep runs in San Francisco, Samuel will now attempt to help his new team rise to contender status in the NFC.
