Coach Sean McVay will be pleased to have him on defense. Throughout the 2023 season, he had big plays with the Commanders which netted him big numbers. This included a career-high 115 combined tackles with 41 of them being assisted. He also has the ability to push a weapon back with his brute force. Three tackles for loss were the result of this.
Much like Aaron Donald, his eyes are set on taking a quarterback down when an offensive lineman fails to block his path. He got three quarterback hits because of this and even recorded a sack. All of this makes for a great addition to the safety position for the Rams.
The Commanders are adding some depth at linebacker.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Washington plans to sign Anthony Pittman.
Pittman, 27, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019 with Detroit. He was on and off the team’s active roster until becoming a special teams mainstay in 2021. Over the last three seasons, he appeared in all 17 games and played at least 79 percent of Detroit’s special teams snaps in each of them.
In 52 career games, Pittman has recorded 28 total tackles with one forced fumble.
