Washington Commanders resmi menambah pemain keempat di posisi quarterback mereka setelah memilih Athan Kaliakmanis, quarterback dari Rutgers, pada putaran ketujuh NFL Draft 2026 dengan pilihan keseluruhan ke-223.
Setelah memiliki quarterback andalan Jayden Daniels dan veteran Marcus Mariota sebagai cadangan, Kaliakmanis kini akan bersaing dengan Sam Hartman untuk memperebutkan posisi quarterback ketiga.
Kaliakmanis memiliki pengalaman lima tahun di kompetisi Big Ten. Ia memulai kariernya dengan bermain untuk Minnesota, di mana ia tampil sebagai starter sebanyak 17 pertandingan. Pada 2024, ia pindah ke Rutgers dan menjadi starter di setiap pertandingan selama dua musim, yakni 2024 dan 2025.
Meskipun statistiknya di perguruan tinggi tidak mencolok—dengan persentase penyelesaian 55,8%, 55 touchdown, dan 27 interception—Kaliakmanis menunjukkan potensi yang cukup menjanjikan. Commanders melihat hal tersebut sebagai alasan untuk memilihnya di putaran ketujuh dan memberikan kesempatan untuk bersaing di musim offseason ini guna memperebutkan posisi ketiga.
