Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner has always been a coach on the field type of player, and that's not changing in his new location.
The Washington Commanders have a lot of young blood on the roster and a lot of new faces in the locker room so it's no surprise they sought out a few older veterans to bring that 'coach on the field' presence to the team.
"I think it's kind of the same thing. I think at the end of the day, the older you get, the more experience you have, the more people want to hear from you and want to hear your scars," Wagner told Kay Adams on. "And I think that's, as a player that's been around for a long time, that's your job is to share those scars and so you've been around the game for a long time so you can understand and kind of be that bridge between the player and coach.
Another new member of the Commanders roster this year that a lot of people are excited to see is fellow linebacker Frankie Luvu. Wagner can be counted among those who are anticipating what 2024 will look like for the new Washington linebacker. "Frankie Luvu is somebody that I worked out with back when we were in Seattle," Wagner told Adams when asked about who he cannot wait to work with. "We worked out in the off-season. Then he went and played for the Panthers for a long time and then we got an opportunity to finally play together. So that's the first person that comes to mind being able to play with him. I've watched him from afar, watched his growth.
