"Lattimore's arrival in Washington via trade from the New Orleans Saints signaled the start of an exciting new era. It represented a sign that general manager Adam Peters wanted to win now, and he had a rookie quarterback contract to maximize before it got much more expensive to keep Jayden Daniels around. Most of his significant moves have paid off, but this has all the makings of a major miss."
"The four-time Pro Bowler is not the lockdown presence the Commanders had in mind. Lattimore looks like a shell of his former self, displaying frailties in coverage and poor technique. He's giving up explosive plays and penalties at will. His 44.0 grade from Pro Football Focus ranks 108th out of 113 qualifying cornerbacks. That's reflected in the tape. For every positive rep Lattimore puts together, there are three bad ones."
Marshon Lattimore arrived in Washington via trade from New Orleans with expectations of being a veteran lockdown corner to support a young quarterback and push the team toward wins. Lattimore has regressed noticeably, displaying poor technique, coverage frailties, repeated penalties, and giving up explosive plays. Pro Football Focus assigns a 44.0 grade, ranking him 108th of 113 qualifying cornerbacks. Opposing offenses are targeting him, and game tape shows more negative reps than positive. The Commanders have adjusted coverage schemes to hide inconsistency rather than deploy him as a primary man‑coverage matchup. Analysts question whether he remains a reliable starter.
