This season has not gone according to plan for Brandon Coleman. The Washington Commanders took him out of the firing line early on and have seldom seen him since. But according to one team insider, there might be more to this situation than meets the eye.
Coleman went through a transition during the offseason. The Commanders' bold trade for left tackle Laremy Tunsil meant the 2024 third-round pick was switched to the interior. Not ideal, but he did enough over the summer to win the starting left guard job.
That didn't last. Coleman struggled to generate an impact, and he was benched in favor of Chris Paul.
