Why the Washington Commanders Are the Most Exciting Team in the NFL

It’s a good time to be a football fan in Washington, DC. They’re 7-2, which is the most wins they’ve had through nine games since 1996 and good enough for first place in their division. With the second selection in this year’s draft, the Commanders picked quarterback Jayden Daniels from Louisiana State University, who’s had one of the best NFL quarterback ratings and is a strong contender for rookie of the year. The man at the center of this turnaround is Josh Harris, a co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc.—and an owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and a general partner with the English Premier League’s Crystal Palace. Harris bought the Commanders last year from Daniel Snyder, who was, to put it mildly, extremely disliked.
