Another year of the NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone. And for the Washington Commanders, that meant meeting with as many prospects as possible.
Head coach Ron Rivera, general manager Martin Mayhew and others were in Indianapolis for the combine. While the Commanders met with several prospects at different positions, including one of the top quarterbacks in Florida’s Anthony Richardson, they clearly focused on one position in particular.
The Commanders met with several of the top offensive line prospects during the combine. While Washington likely met with several others, we track down its known meetings with some of the draft’s top offensive line prospects.

Per Sam Fortier of The Washington Post.
Washington formally interviewed these 19 prospects.
Formals aren’t perfect gauges of interest — a team can like a prospect but not interview him — but they do offer insight. Commanders looking at all options. https://t.co/alpIAAM0bN pic.twitter.com/E9eBnRooy5
