Chig Okonkwo is a tight end, but I would classify him as the de facto WR2 behind Terry McLaurin. "He's a tight end who really runs routes like a receiver," McLaurin told me about Okonkwo, who seems to have chemistry with Jayden Daniels after multiple grabs in red zone work.

Okonkwo functioning as de facto WR2 with Daniels chemistry in red zone.

Chig Okonkwo, classified as a tight end, functions as the de facto WR2 behind Terry McLaurin in the Commanders offense. McLaurin noted that Okonkwo "really runs routes like a receiver." Okonkwo has shown chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels, making multiple grabs in red zone work. With questions at receiver opposite McLaurin, Okonkwo can fill some of that void in the short term and is versatile enough to move around the formation.
