Chig Okonkwo promises to be a fantastic asset to the tight end position after signing a three-year, $30 million contract with the Washington Commanders in free agency. But amid all the fanfare surrounding his arrival, he took time to offer a bullish outlook for one of his teammates.
Okonkwo has the athleticism and versatility to be the perfect replacement for veteran Zach Ertz, whose days with the organization are probably done. He's not the best blocker, but the Commanders don't need much of that from him with John Bates and Ben Sinnott also around.
