“If I were to be a head coach, I would want to be like Dan Quinn." -Austin Ekeler Commanders Running Back shares and is echoed by Super Bowl Champion Zach Ertz's words as well. ""Dan Quinn is probably the best person I've been around in front of the team by the way he leads..."

The Pivot Training Camp tour is in full swing as we visit NFL cities sitting with players and coaches around the league bringing you exclusive interviews and sideline conversations to get you ready for the football season. Something for everyone in the episodes from the hardcore football fan who wants the inside scoop to the casual listener interested in the lives on and off the field of these athletes and coaches. 

In partnership with Fanatics, Ryan, Fred, and Channing stopped by Virginia to visit Commanders camp, an organization that has gone through a complete refresh from ownership to front office to coaching to key player acquisitions including No. 2 overall draft pick in Jayden Daniels. We checked in with Jayden and caught up with veteran players, NFL stars Tight End Zach Ertz and Running Back Austin Ekeler who joined Washington this offseason and are looking to make an immediate impact. Ertz, a Super Bowl Champion, knows what a winning organization looks like and believes under Dan Quinn, the Commanders are built for it. Ekeler who's been known for red zone production is looking to contribute that same level and shares why this team feels different and attributes it to leadership from Dan Quinn to authenticity of how the organization is lead and how quickly Jayden Daniels is adapting to NFL situations.

Personally, Ertz sheds light on how special it is having his wife, USA soccer star Julie Ertz, by his side this training camp for the first time in over a decade with no Olympic participation this summer as the Ertz family continues to grow and Zach understands his football journey is nearing the end. Similarly, Ekeler talks about how he recently just got married and how much that part of his life is bringing a different level of happiness and peace to his football journey.

Both Ekeler and Ertz believe in this new Commanders team and that their talented roster will be ready to compete with the NFC's best this coming season and watching the group mesh on the field, we believe it too.

We’re just getting started with our tour, and bringing you sideline views and locker room conversations as we gear up for the return of the NFL season!
