The Washington Commanders selected EDGE Joshua Josephs from Tennessee in the fifth round (No. 147 overall) of the NFL Draft. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 242 pounds, Josephs possesses notable athleticism and length, which assistant GM Lance Newmark believes will enhance both pass-rushing and run-defense capabilities. While Josephs may not dominate snaps early on, he could significantly contribute as a situational pass rusher, with realistic expectations of 3-5 sacks in his rookie season. However, he will need to bulk up and refine his technical skills to consistently compete at the NFL level.
