New Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal, signed as a free agent after four years with the Chiefs, is attracted to defensive coordinator Daronte Jones' scheme because it emphasizes linebacker involvement and personalization around player skill sets. As a Mike linebacker, Chenal has significant flexibility—going each way, coming downhill, rushing the passer when called upon—making the Washington defense harder to predict. Chenal praised the Commanders' linebacker corps (himself, Sonny Styles, and Frankie Luvu) as having impressive diversity and the ability to function in varying ways, calling the group 'a bunch of dogs' and signaling confidence in the unit's talent and versatility.
