The Washington Commanders opened training camp on Wednesday, and by all reports, the defense has the early advantage over the offense. That's not a surprise. It's how things usually go this time of the year, especially when each side is installing a new scheme. After an uneven start on Day 1 of training camp, quarterback Jayden Daniels was better on Thursday. Far too often on Wednesday, Daniels held onto the ball for a split second too long. While no contact is allowed right now, Daniels would've been sacked multiple times if it were a game. Again, much of this is expected right now. It's nothing to be alarmed about. But there is something that should concern Commanders' fans. Check out this X post from Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. My assessment of the first two days of Commanders camp: pic.twitter.com/RtTE7ELg5H Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 30, 2026Obviously, Jhabvala is posting a GIF of Stefon Diggs, indicating that her takeaway from two days of camp is that the Commanders need the free-agent wideout. Various reports have indicated Washington receivers have had trouble gaining separation or have dealt with drops. This is excluding Terry McLaurin, of course. It's not a complete surprise because general manager Adam Peters spent the offseason trying to land another top receiver opposite McLaurin. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was long thought to be a potential option, but that's now off the table for various reasons. So what should Washington do? Diggs remains available. But for how much longer? The Commanders need more guys who can win one-on-one in order to help Daniels. Diggs proved last season that he still can. The Commanders could continue to wait this out. It is early in training camp, and we aren't going to see everything offensive coordinator David Blough has in his playbook. The best offensive schemes can naturally create separation. Tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott are also expected to contribute significantly. The clock is ticking on Washington finding outside help before Week 1.

The Commonwealth of Virginia might be best known in college athletics for its major schools Virginia and Virginia Tech.However, the two Atlantic Coast Conference members don't have a monopoly on the best players to have participated in the state.That's because there are 14 other Division I institutions that have their own standouts worthy of consideration for our list of best athletes from Virginia colleges. Old Dominion had two selections, and there were other contenders from Liberty, James Madison and Richmond who narrowly missed out.PATH TO PLAYOFF: Sign up for our college football newsletterBut our list can only include 10, so here's the best of the bunch:10 greatest college athletes from VirginiaBruce Smith, Virginia TechOne of the dominant defensive linemen of his generation, Smith had 46 sacks in his career with the Hokies.

As a redshirt sophomore the next season, the Hokies went 11-1 again as he finished sixth in Heisman voting before being selected No. 1 overall in the 2001 NFL draft.Nancy Lieberman, Old DominionOne of the great women basketball players in history, Lieberman had already won an Olympic silver medal with the United State in 1976 before starting her college career.
