ASHBURN, Va. (DC News Now) — During the offseason, the Washington Commanders acquired left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans.
The five-time pro bowler spoke to reporters as a Commander for the first time on Thursday as the team wrapped up its mandatory minicamp.

“The work gonna show for itself as long as we stay consistent and keep working. That’s what matters the most,” Tunsil said. “Everybody is shooting for the Super Bowl. That’s why we work our butt off to get that Super Bowl ring. I think that’s something very important to us and that’s something that we’re trying to achieve.”
If the Commanders are going to win their first Super Bowl since the 1991-92 season, Tunsil’s role protecting quarterback Jayden Daniels blindside could be a critical reason why they do. As minicamp wraps up, Tunsil is embracing taking on that role.
“I try to get as close to [Daniels] as I can,” Tunsil said. “As a quarterback that’s somebody that I try to protect. So I try to put my life on the line for him – in football terms of course.”
The Commanders are breaking until training camp begins in July. When training camp and preseason arrive, Tunsil will likely have even more time to mesh with his new teammates.
