Who is a Commanders defensive player that is struggling in training camp?Mitch Tischler of the Monumental Sports Network was a guest on "BMitch & Finlay" on 106.7 The Fan on Monday afternoon and volunteered the name of safety Quan Martin. Martin was the 47th overall selection of the 2023 NFL Draft, Ron Rivera's last as Commanders head coach and head of all player personnel decisions.Horrible missed tackle on Swift by Quan Martin pic.twitter.com/g6JskSNT6Q Tiller56 (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) October 14, 2025Martin was not playing well, not tackling well in 2025, and began to see his time on the field decrease late in the season. To be the 47th pick in the NFL draft and not be a starter in your fourth season does not speak well for the team's drafting ability in the previous administration. Even more, might Martin not even make the team? Might Quan Martin's days be numbered in Ashburn?"Jeremy Reaves has been on the field much more than Quan," expressed Tischler. "We saw Quan's role change last year as the season went on and maybe didn't necessarily fit his play style as much. I feel like we are seeing a little bit of tentativeness from Quan, early on in camp here."Also to be considered is the fact that the Commanders have a new defensive coordinator, Daronte Jones. This means the Commanders are learning a new defensive scheme, philosophy and language. Of course, that is true of almost all of the defensive players, not only Martin. "Part of that is learning what Daronte Jones wants that safety position to do. I think Quan's a guy that I was hoping early in camp would solidify that fourth safety spot and not have to have the conversation, if Percy Butler is going to stick around or Robert McDaniel, one of those guys."One other side note regarding Martin that should not be overlooked. Tischler made it clear, "A hat tip to Jeremy Reaves in how well he has played in camp here." Reaves has been in the NFL since 2018, but almost exclusively as a leader on the special teams units. But several have noted Reaves looks ready to be an integral part of the defense, not merely special teams.Could Quan Martin actually not make it to a fourth season with the Commanders? It's hard to see another high draft pick by Ron Rivera having such struggles. As it stands currently, Martin is already the sole draft pick out of the seven of 2023 that is still with the team.This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Could former Commanders' second-round pick be on the roster bubble?
