"Caleb Downs has been compared to past safety prospects such as Eric Berry, Derwin James, and Kyle Hamilton. He can play either the strong or free position, and the ultra-high consistency for a player of his physical stature has turned heads."
"Downs would be a game-changer who could transform the entire defense, especially considering the projected scheme new coordinator Daronte Jones plans to run in Washington."
The Washington Commanders are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, holding the No. 7 overall pick. Key prospects include wide receiver Carnell Tate, running back Jeremiyah Love, and linebacker Sonny Styles. However, safety Caleb Downs is highlighted as a potentially game-changing selection. He has been compared to elite safety prospects and has shown remarkable consistency, never missing a game in three college seasons. Despite signing Nick Cross, the Commanders still need a strong safety to enhance their defense under new coordinator Daronte Jones.
