The vibes have been high for the last four months surrounding the Washington Commanders’ facility, with several players praising the attitude and approach the new coaching staff has brought with them to turn the franchise into a competitor.
Count Jonathan Allen among the throng of people who have voiced their support for the team’s new vision.
“I’m just so happy,” Allen told reporters after Wednesday’s practice. “I love the coaching staff. I love the direction we’re moving in. I love the way we’re working. It has truly been reinvigorating and just so fun to come to work every day. This is literally just a dream job right now.”
Allen, a first-round pick from 2017, has played under three different coaching staffs in his NFL career. While both Jay Gruden and Ron Rivera had their moments of success, the best record the team had since Allen arrived was 8-8-1 in 2022 and one playoff appearance in 2020.
