2026 NFL All-Breakout Team: Predicting the next great players at every positionTrey Amos,WashingtonCommanders

There were a slew of names worthy of this second spot on the team, but Amos is just a hair above the rest.

Last year's second-round selection didn't enjoy the kind of rookie showcase he desired, concluding with a 55.8 overall PFF grade with a 58.8 PFF coverage mark. While Amos was certainly victimized at times, he reflected his talent by earning at least a 68.5 coverage grade in five of his 10 contests, and his 51.43% lockdown rate was 26^thamong all cornerbacks. Further, Amos broke up an eye-catching 17.6% of his targets.

Washington's defense should be considerably better at all three levels in 2026 after the team's offseason overhaul. With new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones specializing in the secondary, that marks another boost for Amos.

2026 NFL Power Rankings: How the Schedule Release Shook Up the League Hierarchy

#24 Washington Commanders

Previously ranked: 23

Super Bowl odds: +6500

Surviving their first eight games may not be possible. They only play three of those on the road, but they're at Philly and Dallas to open the season and then off to San Francisco in Week 6. They also play the Seahawks and Rams. They don't really have a break until they get to Arizona in Week 12.

Now that the full 2026 NFL schedule is out, here are @RalphVacchiano's final Power Rankings of the offseason

Hot Seat Meter for NFL Head Coaches Entering a Make-or-Break 2026 Season

Dan Quinn, Washington Commanders

In 2024, Dan Quinn had a strong first year with the Washington Commanders. They advanced to the NFC Championship Game with then-rookie Jayden Daniels. Well ahead of schedule in a rebuild, the Commanders exceeded expectations.

Last season, Washington regressed with an aging roster. Critics alsoquestionedQuinn's decision to leave Daniels on the field in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, a game in which he dislocated his left elbow. T

Daniels missed 10 games due to injuries, but Washington had other offensive issues. Quinn and play-caller Kliff Kingsbury haddifferent perspectivesfor that side of the ball and parted ways. The Commanders hired David Blough to fill that vacancy.

As a defensive-minded head coach, Quinn needs a better showing from a revamped unit, even though he doesn't call plays. Washington signed Tim Settle, Odafe Oweh, K'Lavon Chaisson, Leo Chenal and Nick Cross to bolster a unit that allowed the most yards and ranked 27th in scoring last season.

Quinn's choice of an offensive coordinator is directly linked to Daniels' development. If the third-year signal-caller continues to regress after winning 2024 Rookie of the Year, the Commanders may dump Quinn and the entire coaching staff to find a new vision for their franchise player.

5 NY Giants who could have bounce back seasonsWR Malik Nabers

There is, of course, concern regarding when Nabers will return to action following the surgery to repair his injured knee, as well as how effective he'll be once he retakes the field. That's the realm of the Giants' doctors and trainers.

My concern, meanwhile, is if Nabers is primed for a bounce-back from the season he was having before his injury. The injury itself complicates matters, and he might not return to full speed until the second half of the year. But even if he isn't as explosive as he was when healthy, he can play better.

Nabers only started four games last year, totaling 18 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns. Of those, nine catches, 167 yards, and both touchdowns came against the Cowboys putrid defense. Otherwise, he caught nine passes on 22 targets (40.9%) for 104 yards, and was 1 for 5 (20 percent) on contested catches.

However, the stage could be set for him to rebound from that forgettable start, even while he returns from injury.

Way too early Cowboys 53-man roster prediction (defense)

One of the position groups with the most turnover from 2025 to 2026 is the defensive tackle unit. Kenny Clark is the only returning defensive tackle who played the entire season with the Cowboys in 2025. Quinnen Williams will partake in his first offseason as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, and Otito Ogbonnia is a sneaky good addition by the Cowboys in free agency, given his position flexibility and true nose tackle potential.v

Behind the top three, rookie fourth-round pick LT Overton is expected to play a role as a 4i, 5-tech, and 3-tech in Christian Parker's defense. Jonathan Bullard was a late signing this offseason, but his ability to stop the run from the 4i and 5-technique spot gives the Cowboys quality depth at defensive tackle. With these five, second-year defensive tackle Jay Toia would be a likely practice squad candidate, as the Cowboys would like to keep him around if they can do so.

The Players Need the NFLPA to Be Stronger' What an Agent Told Me About the 18-Game Schedule, Plus is Joe Schoen on the hot seat? | NFL Mailbag

The Giants are one of the teams that I'm particularly bullish on this season, in large part because of the young talent Schoen has accumulated over the past three draft classes, and especially John Harbaugh and Dawn Aponte's influence over the current trajectory of the franchise's future.

There's little doubt, though, that given the lack of results on the field in recent years, combined with Harbaugh and Aponte's arrivals, Schoen isn't just sitting on a hot seat, but it is floating on pool of lava ahead of the 2026 campaign kicking off.

Given that Harbaugh reports directly to owner John Mara, rather than Schoen, the general manager, we can surmise between the lines that if Harbaugh believes the organization needs a course correction and can deliver the results to back it up, it may prove difficult for Schoen to survive any turmoil that arises in the months ahead.

As for Aponte, she is one of the more respected figures across the sport, for her efforts in the league office and there is significant optimism that the Giants can quickly turn things around now that she is a significant presence at 1925 Giants Drive, as the Senior Vice President of Football Operations and Strategy.

Dawn may actually be an equally important, if not a bigger acquisition than Harbaugh," a prominent agent told Between The Hashmarks, back in March. Her years of expertise in the front office for teams, and working for the league in their Park Avenue offices is unprecedented.

At this point, the Giants have the chemistry to make a Super Bowl run every year in the not-so-distant future, at least in our opinion."

Feel Old Yet? The Sons of Ex-NFL Stars Are Everywhere in College Football

We've all been there. We've all heard the ding of a news notification or scoured the news landscape and stumbled upon an article that made us age a decade in seconds.

So-and-so's son {Insert name of ex-pro star} has committed to this big-name university.

It's enough to spark a wave of emotions that are equal parts nostalgia, excitement and existential crisis all rolled into one.

The latest episode of the I-feel-old-now show dropped on Friday, when Charles Woodson Jr., the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, turned back the clock by committing to his father's alma mater, Michigan.

So it got us thinking. Not that we want anyone to feel older than they already feel having consumed that news yesterday, but just how many other sons of former NFL stars are out there in the college football landscape, either on rosters or as committed recruits?
