Commanders selected Rutgers QB Athan Kaliakmanis with the No. 223 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Kaliakmanis, who threw for 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his final season at Rutgers, was 25th among all college QBs last season in EPA per drop back. His adjusted yards per attempt increased every year in college, finishing just below 9, a respectable mark. Kaliakmanis started his college career at Minnesota before transferring to Rutgers in 2024. He’ll try to crack the Washington roster this summer.
