Jeffrey M'Ba: Commanders' UDFA to Watch

On May 1, Washington commander's general manager, Adam Peters, wasted no time signing undrafted

free agents right after the 2026 NFL.

Draft wrapped up.

One name jumping out is defensive tackle, Jeffrey Embaugh, a 6-foot-5, 316-pound

bees-to-analysts see as the top rookie with A. Real shot at the week 1 roster.

Mabaz no spring chicken at 26 years old, but he brings serious production from his college

stops at Auburn, Purdue, and SMU.

Last season with the Mustangs, he racked up 42 tackles, 5 sacks, and 7.5 tackles for

loss, showing he can disrupt from the side.

Inside, the commanders are switching to a 3-4 base defense under new coordinator Dorante

Jones, with starters like Darren Payne, Javon Kinlaw, and Tim.

Settle Jr. locked in up front.

Behind them, depth is thin guys like Johnny Newton, Shai Tuttle, and DJ.

Javitson are fighting for snaps, leaving room for a surprise like Embaugh.

Analyst Christopher Knox, from Bleacher Report, calls Embaugh the standout UDFA for Washington,

praising his size, motor, and traits perfect for A.

Rotational role.

He'll battle Vets and Washington's own tough offensive line in camp, but his prime

age means he has to hit the ground running.

If Enbibba flashes that ferocity this summer, he could carve out a spot and become a fan

favorite.

Quick keep an eye on this underdog story unfolding in.
