Every era of Washington Commanders football, one lineup. These are the highest-rated Washington Commanders legends across the 1960s to today — a full 11 on both sides of the ball, chosen by iKnoBall's era-adjusted engine — and the record they'd post over a 17-game season.
Offense is weighted 55%, defense 45% — exactly how iKnoBall scores a roster. Think you'd start a different 11? Prove it.
Sonny Jurgensen headlines the group at a 91 overall — the kind of number only genuine all-time greats reach on iKnoBall's scale. Around Jurgensen, the model fills out a complete lineup that balances quarterback play, skill-position firepower, the trenches, and a defense across Washington Commanders history, then simulates all 17 games. The result — 14–3 — reflects both the raw talent and how the pieces fit on both sides of the ball.

Build Your All-Time TeamGet the AppBy iKnoBall's era-adjusted ratings the all-time Washington Commanders lineup is Sonny Jurgensen (QB, 1960s), John Riggins (RB, 1980s), Art Monk (WR1, 1980s), Terry McLaurin (WR2, 2020s), Trent Williams (OL, 2010s), Jonathan Allen (DL, 2020s), Bobby Wagner (LB, 2020s), Darrell Green (CB, 1990s), Ken Houston (S, 1970s), Russ Grimm (FLEX-O, 1980s), Sean Taylor (FLEX-D, 2000s). Together they project to a 14–3 regular season.
iKnoBall's simulation projects this 11-man lineup at 14–3 over a 17-game season, with an average starter rating of 92. The model runs each game as a probability from the roster's combined offensive and defensive strength, so an all-time team contends for a near-perfect year but nothing is guaranteed.
Each player's overall is era-adjusted so a 1970s legend and a modern superstar sit on the same 70–99 scale. Offense (QB, skill players, line) is weighted 55% and defense 45%, and only true all-time greats reach the mid-to-high 90s.
Yes — iKnoBall is a free game where you draft one legend per era, build your all-time roster, and simulate a full season chasing a perfect 17–0. Play it free at play.iknoball.com.
