Rutgers QB Seizes Opportunity with Commanders | Rutgers Scarlet News

Athan Kaliakmanis, a seventh-round draft pick from Rutgers, is seizing his moment with the Commanders after Marcus Mariota’s preseason injury. Making his NFL debut, Kaliakmanis completed six of ten passes for 87 yards and impressed coaches with his poise and clock management. With Sam Hartman also vying for snaps, Kaliakmanis must capitalize on this window—where he broke a school record at Rutgers throwing for nearly 6,000 yards and 38 touchdowns—to earn a backup role. Fans are watching closely as he tries to prove he belongs in the NFL. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
