Dan Quinn doesn't plan to call one Commanders' rookie by his nickname

Dan Quinn is not going to go with one Washington Commanders nickname. Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic was overheard asking the Commanders ' third-year head coach regarding one of his 2026 draft picks. Washington looked to add a running back in the draft, and it did, selecting one in the sixth round, with the 187th overall selection.

So Jhabvala inquired of Quinn on Friday, "Kaytron Allen, 'Fatman', Do you refer to him as Fatman? " Without hesitation, Quinn shook his head, replying, "I do not. " Now smiling, Quinn continued, "Yes, I do not.

And I'm hopefully never going to. " Another smile from Quinn, and all those standing near Quinn chuckled. It was all in good fun.

Quinn wasn't making it a serious matter; he decided to have some fun with it, but did apparently make it clear that he has no intention of referring to his rookie running back from Penn State, Kaytron Allen, as 'Fatman. ' Kaytron Allen was 1 of 2 RB’s in the entire 2026 Class to record: - 1,300+ Rushing Yards - 15+ Rushing TD’s - 6. 0+ YPC The only other RB to accomplish this?
