Dan Quinn calls Commanders rookie 'big time'
Dan Quinn has major praise for Commanders' rookie not named Sonny Styles.
We know Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is a huge fan of first-round linebacker Sonny Styles. That's not a surprise considering Quinn's longtime successful history as an NFL defensive coordinator. When the Commanders selected Styles with the No.
7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Styles immediately told Quinn, "I told you, Coach," sharing that the two just knew he'd back in Washington after his official pre-draft visit. However, Styles isn't the only Commanders' rookie that has already impressed Quinn. Washington didn't have a second-round pick, but in the third round, it chose Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams at No.
71 overall. With the Commanders' need at wide receiver opposite Terry McLaurin, there was a clear opening to make an impact as a rookie. GM Adam Peters shared how he believed Williams could play outside or in the slot.
What does Quinn think about Williams? "I think one thing that you see, like, right off the bat, like, man, this guy has feel," Quinn told the " Sports Junkies " on 106. 7 The Fan on Friday.
