Vernon Davis on Washington Commanders name: ‘They couldn’t have picked a better name’
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
After all the build up and fanfare, or maybe lack thereof, the Washington Football franchise will officially debut as the Washington Commanders this Saturday against the Carolina Panthers.
While many in the DMV area are still very much TBD on the name, a local great and former Washington TE Vernon Davis believes the area has already embraced the new name.
“I think the DMV has already bought into it because Commanders represents what Washington, D.C. really is.” said Davis to Mackenzie Salmon on Sports Seriously. “I mean we are talking about the nation’s capital.
“It just makes sense for them to have that name. They couldn’t have picked a better name than the Commanders,” said Davis. “Of course, everyone loves the old name, but hey look, time changes, things are different and we have to learn to adapt and really get behind this team and support them.”
Time till tell if Davis is right about the new name. As for the new fight song, let’s just pull the plug on that right now.
