Commanders’ Brycen Tremayne working, competing for a spot

Brycen Tremayne is competing each day, hoping to win a spot on the 2024 Commanders’ regular-season roster.

“I think the mindset coming in each day is just to compete and just keep getting better every day and learn from the veteran guys in the room that have been in the league for a long time.”

The 6-foot-4 receiver from Stanford talked with Craig Hoffman Tuesday about working hard and being competitive.

“You couldn’t ask for anything better than a room that’s competitive. It pushes you to get better; it pushes the guy next to you to get better. The whole room rises when everyone’s competing.”

Tremayne spoke of spending time with Terry McLaurin last year, asking questions, listening, and learning how he ran routes, winning early and late in routes.

“You can take bits and pieces from every person in the room and implement them into your own game and make yourself better.”

He doesn’t believe he can rest on his talent and thinks he learned this growing up.

“Going back to college, to high school, it’s my mindset. Maybe it’s through my family that hard work will bring good things. So, I just try to bring that every day. If it works out, it works out. And it doesn’t, then I worked as hard as I could.”

Tremayne did a good job on special teams at Stanford, and he realizes that if he is to make the Commanders’ 53-man roster, he will need to play well on teams again.

“I was doing gunner all during college. I did gunner all last year in camp and preseason and this year I moved to more PP (Personal Protector), being more versatile, able to play more positions whether on kickoffs or punts. At the end of the day, it’s just effort play. I play with a lot of effort, so it’s good for me.”
