The Washington Commanders finally have the man to conduct their defense, and it's former Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach/run game coordinator Daronte Jones.
Jones has never been a coordinator at the NFL level, but he's an experienced positional coach who was interviewed by several different teams. The Commanders weren't able to fulfill their Brian Flores pipe dream, but they nabbed one of his top assistants.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the hire — especially what he could do for Washington's defensive backfield. Specifically, there's one player who could greatly benefit from his presence.
