Josh Conerly Jr. arrived in Washington on Friday, one day after the Commanders used their first-round selection on the Oregon offensive tackle. Conerly, alongside general manager Adam Peters, met with the media on Friday.
Conerly described what was a whirlwind 18 hours, going from being drafted to being on a plane across the country with several of his family members. In the middle of those crazy 18 hours, Conerly received two calls from a pair of very important teammates.
“I actually got a FaceTime from Laremy Tunsil last night and I missed it because the celebration was like right after,” Conerly said. “But I also got to talk to Jayden Daniels, I don’t know, what was that like 20 minutes ago maybe [laughs] and that was pretty cool. So, nice to get to meet him.”

Daniels and his teammates returned to Ashburn this week for the start of the offseason program.
Tunsil, acquired via a trade with Houston last month, will be Washington’s left tackle next season, a position Conerly played at Oregon. Peters didn’t reveal where Conerly would play in 2025, but he could also play guard if needed. It’s expected that Conerly will play right tackle, while last year’s left tackle, Brandon Coleman, will shift inside to guard.
