Jeremy Reaves is one of the Washington Commanders’ most popular players. When general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn took over earlier this year, they let most of Washington’s internal free agents walk.
Reaves, who was set to enter free agency after recovering from a major knee injury, was always a priority for the new regime. Reaves can play, but his impact is felt everywhere. He’s a team leader, a fan favorite, a special teams star, and a reserve safety who sets a standard in practice every day.
So, when the Commanders made it official, signing Reaves to a new two-year, his teammates and fans were happy. Reaves already appears to be a favorite of the new coaching staff.
Washington opened training camp this week, and the team mic’d up Reaves.

In this 60-second clip, you see why Reaves is so beloved. He’s chatting with everyone, from the training staff and equipment guys to linebacker Bobby Wagner and running back Brian Robinson Jr.
It’s good to see Reaves back on the field — and in Washington.
