Commanders to hire Danny Etling as assistant quarterbacks coach

Our Summary

The Washington Commanders have appointed Danny Etling as their new assistant quarterbacks coach. This follows the promotion of David Blough to offensive coordinator earlier this month. Etling and Blough were teammates at Purdue before Etling transferred to LSU. Although Etling was a seventh-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2018 and won a Super Bowl ring as a practice squad member, he never appeared in a regular-season NFL game. He has spent time with several NFL teams, including the Seahawks, Vikings, Broncos, Packers, and Jaguars, and recently played in the UFL for the past two seasons. This role with the Commanders marks Etling's first coaching position.
