Daron Payne is no longer just the quiet force in the middle of the Washington Commanders’ defense — he’s becoming the vocal leader this reshaped unit needs. In this episode of Locked On Commanders, we break down how Payne’s leadership, combined with new additions like Javon Kinlaw and Deatrich Wise, is redefining what this defense can be in 2025.

Hear full quotes from Joe Whitt Jr. and Darryl Tapp on why Payne is standing out, what the team’s size strategy means for NFC East matchups, and why OTA structure is already laying the foundation for a tougher, smarter defense.

📌 Is this the best version of Daron Payne we’ve ever seen?
📌 Can Washington finally stop the run in the NFC East?
📌 How do the Commanders build a physical identity… without pads?
