Commanders' Brandon Coleman on staying ready if needed at center
Commanders OL Brandon Coleman can play anywhere across the offensive line. That's being tested this summer.
After Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn addressed concerns about Nick Allegretti's calf injury, the team opted to utilize Julian Good-Jones and rookie Matt Gulbin as center. However, both players have limited experience, with Good-Jones having played in just 218 career snaps and Hill's only recent game being in 2024, having made 218 career snaps playing for 25 games.
To ensure preparedness, the Commanders have enlisted Brandon Coleman, a 2024 third-round draft pick, to take snaps at center. Though Coleman has limited experience at center, having played in 16 games for the TCU, he expressed his willingness to take on the role by stating, "You never know what happens.....but also, just for me, you never know when you're getting thrown in there, and I'd rather be comfortable than not."
This decision highlights the Commanders' belief in Coleman's versatility and readiness to face the challenge at center.
