Jeremy McNichols says Commanders 'lucky to have' OC David Blough
Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols expects offensive coordinator David Blough to be "explosive" and noted his creativity.
One of the offseason moves that Adam Peters made for the Washington Commanders this year was to retain running back Jeremy McNichols. McNichols hasn't had a large role with Washington over the last couple of years, spending much of his time on special teams. But he's entering his ninth season in the NFL, and he has shown that he can contribute on offensive plays, too.
After McNichols was re-signed, he spoke with the media, as most players do.

"I expect him to be explosive," McNichols replied. "Run the ball, pass the ball, play action ... Be unique, creative.
He's a great mind. He didn't get this job for no reason, and for him to be so young and talented, and everybody wanted him. So we're lucky to have him, and I'm just so excited to see his creativity, and also the other coaches on the staff as well.
