## Resource

Nick Cross is proving he’s a defensive Swiss Army knife for the Commanders, excelling everywhere from the box to the deep secondary. Last season with Indianapolis, he racked up 46 run stops — fifth-most among DBs — while lining up at safety, in the slot, and even as a linebacker. Washington’s coaching staff, led by Dan Quinn, is actively experimenting with schemes to unlock his full potential, especially his surprising speed in coverage. With his versatility and impact on both run defense and deep zones, Cross is poised to be a dynamic force across the entire back seven.
