Everyone who watches and follows football, or any sport for that matter, does it because it’s fun. It’s entertaining, it’s a show, and it’s a competition. Humans love competition; we love to prove that we are the best at whatever we are doing. But, the ultimate goal is always to have fun while you’re competing, even when you lose.
Remembering that this is supposed to be a fun game, CBS Sports recently created the NFL’s 2025 All-Fun team, which is focused not on just the best players in the league, but the ones with the most personality. Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu has a big personality, making him a perfect selection at linebacker.
Tenacity is the key at the off-ball linebacker spot, and Luvu might have more than anyone this side of Fred Warner and Roquan Smith, longtime staples of the position. After an underrated rise as a blitzing linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, Luvu successfully transitioned to the Washington Commanders in 2024, with his energy helping lift the team all the way to the NFC title game.
Luvu certainly brought the fire against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game, and his tenacity and spirit certainly make him a fit for this roster.

He wasn’t the only one considered, though. Jayden Daniels was considered at quarterback, and Tress Was was considered at punter. Ultimately, Lamar Jackson and Johnny Hekker were the selections at those positions.
With three players considered out of all the players in the NFL, it shows what kind of team the Commanders are building. They desire to win more than anything, and they certainly want to have fun while they do it.
