The Commanders chose Forbes over Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, another cornerback who was considered a potential top-10 pick and fell into the second half of the first round. “They didn’t really care too much about my weight because I can play ball,” Forbes said. Kentucky’s Will Levis was still on the board when the Commanders took Forbes.
