It’s going to be an interesting period for the Washington Commanders, who are entering the next stage of a new regime.
It will be general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn’s first season leading the Burgundy & Gold, and all eyes will be on Jayden Daniels as he begins to earn his spot as Washington’s starting quarterback.
This year’s training camp will also feature an overturned roster, half of which is made up of new players and draft picks.
For the next few weeks, Commanders.com will be looking at each position and highlighting some of the challenges they will face until the season begins. Next up are the cornerbacks.
There was plenty of hope surrounding Forbes when he first came to Washington with the previous staff hoping that he would help fix the defense’s issues with creating turnovers.
The results, however, were mixed, and while he did improve by the end of his rookie season, there was still much to be desired from the FBS record-holder for most career pick-sixes.
It’s not a “make or break” season for Forbes, but it will be important for him to show that he can continue to build on what he learned as a rookie.
Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. were fans of his during the draft process, so perhaps a new vision and new coaches will help steer him on the right path towards becoming the playmaker he was in college.
