Undrafted Giant Makes Roster | Washington Commanders News

0:00It's September 4th. Welcome to Washington Commander's News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. The Washington commanders have finalized their initial 53-man roster, and it's got some interesting names on it. For the third year in a row, an undrafted free agent has managed to snag a spot. This time around, it's Tenoa Togui, an offensive lineman from Utah who made the cut. He arrived in April, and, despite the offensive line dealing with some injuries to key players like Laramie Tonsel, Togui stepped up. Togui, standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 321 pounds, brings a unique skill set. While he saw some action at Tackle and College, most of his experience came at Guard, where he earned honorable mention all Big 12 honors. The commander staff was looking closely at their depth at Guard during training camp, and Togui showed he could be a real asset, playing both left, and right guard during the preseason. He put in over 100 reps across 3 preseason games, and his past protection flashed some

He even played a role in the team's first touchdown, pulling to help clear the path for a running back's 22 yard score. Despite a minor hiccup in one game where he struggled with a delayed blitz, the coaching staff, including assistant general manager Lance Newmark, and head coach Dan Quinn saw his physicality and production grow throughout August and the preseason. Newmark specifically mentioned how Togui's size and toughness really started to shine once the pads came on. Now the real test begins, with Togui making the roster, the question is whether he can deliver when the regular season kicks off. He'll be part of the offensive line depth alongside Andrew Wiley and Matt Goldman, ready to step in if needed.
