Athan Kaliakmanis selected No. 223 by Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders have selected QB Athan Kaliakmanis with the No. 223 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Kaliakmanis finished his four-year collegiate career completing 56.3% of his passes for 8,604 yards and 55 touchdowns in two seasons at Minnesota and two at Rutgers. He is coming off of a year that saw him complete a career-best 62.2% of his passes at Rutgers. Kaliakmanis protects the ball well and has above average arm strength with a quick release. Jayden Daniels is the starter in Washington, but Kaliakmanis will compete with Marcus Mariota and Sam Hartman for the QB2 role in 2026.
