Ryan Kerrigan’s daughter has adorable reaction to Commanders trading Montez Sweat

If you were to ask Washington Commanders’ fans who their favorite coach was, the answer would be easy: Assistant defensive line coach Ryan Kerrigan. Washington’s all-time sack leader is in his second season as an NFL assistant after retiring in the summer of 2022.

One of the 90 greatest players in franchise history, Kerrigan played 10 seasons in the burgundy and gold, recording 95.5 sacks.

Earlier this week, two of Kerrigan’s favorite students, defensive ends Montez Sweat and Chase Young, were traded ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Kerrigan was in a unique position, having played two seasons with Sweat and one season with Young — both players had massive respect for Kerrigan.

While Kerrigan was undoubtedly sad over Sweat and Young’s departures, someone else in his family was even more upset.

Kerrigan’s wife, Jessica, shared a video of the couple’s daughter, Haysie, learning that her favorite player (Sweat) had been traded.

She was none too happy.

Absolutely adorable.

The Commanders will miss Sweat and Young, who combined for 11.5 sacks through the first eight games. Washington plays at New England in Week 9.
