The Washington Commanders have officially wrapped up the second day of their rookie minicamp. Here are some notes from head coach Dan Quinn's press conference and the action on the practice field.

-- This is the first NFL practice for the rookies, undrafted free agents and tryout players, so Quinn knows there will be plenty of new information thrown at them this weekend. However, he does want to see them try to implement what they learn on the field. They will not be doing full 11-on-11 work, but he expects the players to communicate and build a rapport. Most of the work on the field will be individual work, so he wants the players to "dial in" on their skill set. The most important goal, though, will be for the new players to understand the Commanders' standard and how to reach that.

-- With the Commanders using their first-round pick to take Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr., there was more attention than usual placed on the offensive line. Conerly moved well and had good feet, both of which were praised during the draft process. One of the best moments for the rookie happened when the group wasn't doing drill work. As one drill was being set up, Conerly ran over to help the equipment crew. Quinn and general manager Adam Peters want their roster to be filled with the right kind of people, and it looks like Conerly fits that description.

-- Quinn loves this time of year, mostly because of the value that comes with teaching the rookies and undrafted free agents how to become professionals. "We're not going to miss one step of their development," he said. For the veterans, he wants to make sure his staff is putting together a solid plan for how they can perfect specific areas of their skill sets. "It's nice to see how hard everybody is working right off the bat."

-- Although cornerback Trey Amos was drafted in the second round, the Commanders seem just as excited about him as they are about Conerly. Aside from looking the part, Amos possesses ideal speed and fluidity in his movements that showed up in practice. It's getting noticed by his coaches, too; after going through one rep, one of his position coaches yelled, "Getting better every rep, Amos."

-- Every rookie class is different, and that's the case this year when comparing this year's group to the 2024 class. One thing Quinn hopes they have in common is their desire to be good teammates. That, among other things, was something the 2024 class excelled at, and Quinn wants that standard to stay the same in 2025.

"Not every player can become a great player, but you can become a great teammate," Quinn said.

-- Linebacker Kain Medrano was one of the most athletic players at this position in this year's draft class, and it showed up during Commanders practice. Check out this video from NBC Washington's JP Finlay of Medrano going through individual drills.

-- Peters said after Amos was drafted that the team viewed him as an outside cornerback, and Quinn confirmed they would use him primarily at that spot because of his length and ability to break up contested passes.

-- There's always a handful of undrafted rookies who make the initial 53-man roster, and that journey begins this weekend. When asked about what they can do to improve their chances, Quinn circled back to one of the main pillars of Washington's culture: competition.

"And there's great examples from players who were in that same space, whether it was last season or seasons prior, who have walked that walk," Quinn said. "We don't really want them to think about that yet. We don't really go so far to say what's gonna happen in September. Just work these skills, learn the system and the skills that are needed for the system."

-- Like undrafted free agents, there is no guarantee that a seventh-round pick makes the initial roster, but running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt looks like he has a good chance. The front office praised him after he was drafted for what they heard about his work ethic and energy, and he has some strong instincts for the position.
