Underwhelming Commanders draft pick faces drastic career shift to survive

Daronte Jones' arrival as Washington Commanders defensive coordinator brings intrigue and urgency in equal measure.

He's got big plans for the franchise, and a massive effort is needed from the players he decides will be part of his system. Fans are expecting a significant overhaul of the defensive personnel, but some players who were a little down on their luck when Joe Whitt Jr. called the shots will get a chance to impress.

One of those is Quan Martin.

The safety was projected to go through a breakout campaign in 2025 after the Commanders allowed Jeremy Chinn to walk in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders.
