When it comes to celebrity Washington Commanders’ fans, a few names come to mind. Matthew McConaughey, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Durant and Wale come to mind first.
Wale was in attendance for Friday’s practice at Commanders Park and spoke on all of the changes with the franchise and the excitement surrounding the team.
“You can’t help but to be excited, you can feel the excitement of the fans,” Wale said. “Even talking to a lot of my friends on the team, you can feel it. It’s a new day.”
Wale was then asked how they looked on the practice field Friday: “Fast, we looked fast. We looked excited, inspired.”
What about Jayden Daniels?
“Of course, that’s the pick I wanted……we love to have him here.”
Wale praised the front office, particularly the new ownership group.
So, what does he happening this season?
“I don’t want to put any expectations on our guys right now, but I think we’re going to win some games, shock a lot of people and play with intensity and passion. I can guarantee that.”
Even during the franchise’s struggles over the years, Wale has always maintained his support for the team.
