Commanders Wide Receiver With 4,826 Career Yards In Danger Of Making Roster

The Washington Commanders finished last season with a 4-13 record and they will begin a new in 2024 with a new regime in place. Many position battles will be up for grabs during NFL training camp after OTAs and Mandatory Minicamps.

A season ago, the Washington Commanders offense only averaged 19.4 points per game. They averaged 219.1 net yards per game. Washington only averaged 93.6 yards per game on the ground a season ago. They hope the offense can reach new heights.

A lot of this season will ride on quarterback Jayden Daniels, who is only a rookie. He was the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU. The Washington Commanders hope that Daniels could become a star for them in his first NFL season.

Riggo’s Rags Writer James Dudko Thinks That the 4,826 Career Yard Player Jamison Crowder May Not Make the 53-man Roster For the Washington Commanders

Jamison Crowder is 31 years old and he was a fourth-round pick by the Washington Commanders in the 2015 NFL Draft. On Washington’s depth chart, rookie Luke McCaffrey, Jahan Dotson, and Terry McLaurin are projected to be the starters at wide receiver.

Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus are with the second unit along with Jamison Crowder, but it appears as if Brown and Zaccheaus are ahead of Crowder at the moment.

Riggo’s Rags writer James Dudko thinks that Jamison Crowder is one of four players on the Washington Commanders roster who is potentially in danger of not making the 53-man roster. Dudko said:

“Welcoming free agents Olamide Zaccheaus and Damiere Byrd, along with rookie Luke McCaffrey, to a revamped wide receiver corps spelled trouble for Jamison Crowder. His worries won’t have eased after camp.

Crowder usually finds work as a useful slot receiver and nifty return man. The latter is a role Zaccheaus could snag from under him.

Zaccheaus got the chance to return a few kicks during OTAs. He impressed 7News DC’s Scott Abraham with his “burst” and potential to be a “difference maker” in football’s third phase.

There’s competition in the return game, including Crowder. Zaccheaus isn’t the only threat to the latter’s position. Even Emmanuel Forbes got work in the same area, according to Monumental Sports Network’s Mitchell Tischler.

If he loses work as a returner, Crowder will have a hard time making the final roster because the 30-year-old could be squeezed out of a crowded receiver rotation. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson will be the headline acts. McCaffey is already working well with Daniels, while Dyami Brown has value as a natural deep threat.”

Jamison Crowder has had success in the NFL as a punt returner with the Washington Commanders and others. It is not a deep group at the position, but it will be interesting to see how Crowder will respond in training camp.

Last season, Crowder caught 16 passes for 159 yards receiving and one touchdown. He also averaged 9.9 yards per reception and was targeted 20 times.
