Training camp is almost here. That means a new NFL season is not far behind. On Friday, the rookie class of the Washington Commanders reported for their first training camp.

Early next week, the rest of the team reports to camp. While much of the focus on the Commanders right now is on the new owners, there are plenty of fresh new faces on the 90-man roster, too.

The Commanders added multiple players in free agency, selected seven players in the 2023 NFL draft and added even more undrafted free agents.

As we prepare for training camp, let’s reintroduce you to the newest Commanders.
