What happened: Both parents of Jeremy Reaves served in the armed forces, and the new USAA National Military Monument in Washington, D.C. honors their service alongside all who served. The Washington Commanders extended Reaves in March and included him on their 2026 training camp roster.

Why it matters: Reaves earned First Team All Pro recognition as a special teams player in 2022. He then played all 17 games and made eight defensive starts in 2025, proving his value extends beyond that original role.
