Washington Commanders Hidden Gems: 3 underrated stars for 2026 roster

The 2024 Washington Commanders made the NFC Championship game for the first time since 1991, which is also the last time the franchise won a Super Bowl. The 55-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 conference title game was a heartbreaker, but expecting that to happen in the first place for a franchise that hadn't even had a winning season since 2015? Well, Commanders fans could be forgiven for being happy with what they had and severely excited for the future.

Unfortunately for the Commanders, every season tells its own story and, for the 2025 team, it was back to a harsher reality. This team inverted its previous 12-5 record to 5-12. The defense fell apart, dropping from 23rd to 28th in DVOA. The offense experienced a more drastic downturn, from sixth to 23rd.
