The Washington Commanders have acquired four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round pick in exchange for 2025 third-, fourth- and sixth-round picks. Here are five things to know about the newest member of the secondary.<\/p>\n
1. Another former Buckeye.<\/p>\n
The Commanders are familiar with the talent level that comes with former Ohio State players. There are currently three former Buckeyes on the roster: Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Jalyn Holmes. McLaurin and Brown have combined for 64 catches and 926 yards, while Holmes, signed Oct. 16, already has three tackles and a sack.<\/p>\n
Lattimore, now the fourth former Buckeye on the Commanders’ roster, brings a stellar college resume with him.<\/p>\n
Lattimore committed to Ohio State after being ranked as the No. 6 high school cornerback in the country by 247Sports. After redshirting his freshman season and playing in just seven games the following year, Lattimore was named a starter in 2016 and named a First Team All-Big Ten selection. Lattimore was one of the Buckeyes’ best defensive players that season, as he recorded 30 tackles with four interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
Despite having just one full season of experience, Lattimore was viewed as a first-round pick by most analysts. That draft status was bolstered by his pre-draft measurables, as he ran a 4.36 40-yard dash with a 38.5-inch vertical and an 11-foot broad jump. He ended up being taken 11th overall by the Saints as the first cornerback off the board ahead of Marlon Humphrey, Adoree’ Jackson, Gareon Conley and Tre’Davious White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Commanders have acquired four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round pick in exchange…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[10976,7,1806,896,55,2572,2571,6,397,1805],"class_list":{"0":"post-205588","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-five-things-to-know","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-football-news","11":"tag-new-orleans","12":"tag-new-orleans-saints","13":"tag-neworleans","14":"tag-neworleanssaints","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-saints","17":"tag-subsection-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114849684111839408","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
