The NFL world has once again descended on Indianapolis for the annual scouting combine. Coaches, executives, and scouts will be here to interview prospects, and gather information that will influence their decisions in April. The Combine is also a time when teams are gauging interesting from player’s agents, and also testing the waters for potential trades.

This is Dan Quinn’s second scouting combine since being hired by the Washington Commanders as new head coach last year. He led the team to a 12-5 record, and a trip to the NFC Championship game. Quinn returns looking to continue recalibrating the team, and taking them to the next level.

Last year’s draft class:

NFLPA survey:

On the NFLPA survey, Dan Quinn told reporters at the combine that the improved grades go “to Josh and Adam. There’s no gap in between what [Harris] says and what he does.”
Quinn said family support, team travel etc “reflect back to Josh and the vision of what it can be.”

Traits the Commanders are looking for in draft prospects:

Team culture:

Dan Quinn establishing the play style and identity had to be priorities last year when establishing the culture. Safe to say he accomplished that in 2024

Jayden Daniels:

Quinn said one of the things he loves about Jayden Daniels is his constant improvement. Wants to see how much better he can get in Year 2, and he will have a certain set of things they want him to improve upon
