— John Keim (@john_keim) April 29, 2022

Dotson has made some pretty spectacular catches. There's nothing special about how he developed that skills. Just hard work that he's put in over the years

Jahan Dotson on Carson Wentz: "He actually texted me last night and I read the text like five times because I couldn't believe Carson Wentz was texting me."

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 29, 2022

Dotson said he'll be wearing No. 1. "It was the perfect thing. I'm the first Commanders pick ever. It's cool to have that number on my back."

— John Keim (@john_keim) April 29, 2022

Jahan Dotson says he’ll wear No. 1. He says he felt it was appropriate because he was the first Commanders pick ever. He’s also close friends with Broncos receiver KJ Hamler, who also wears that number.

Jahan Dotson, who was a Cowboys fan, on what it'll be like facing them (and former Penn St. teammate Micah Parsons): "It's going to be amazing, to play them twice a year, beat them twice year."

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) April 29, 2022

Dotson said he's received an "insane" amount of text messages since he's been drafted. "More than you can ever imagine."

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 29, 2022

Dotson said he sees himself as a very versatile player. He watches a lot of different receivers and picks different things from their game to add them to his own

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 29, 2022

Ron Rivera praised Jahan Dotson's calm personality and it's super evident as he stands behind the podium right now. Very sure of himself but humble at the same time. Will fit right in with the likes of Terry, AG, Logan, etc.

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) April 29, 2022

Dotson said he hasn't thought too far ahead to what his rookie debut is going to be like. For now, he's focused on rookie minicamp, which starts next week

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 29, 2022

Back when he was 4 years old, Jahan Dotson would play catch with his cousins, and one cousin in particular would make Dotson do push-ups after a drop. Credits those days for helping him develop his trustworthy hands

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) April 29, 2022

Dotson would have to do 10 pushups every time he dropped a pass when he would play football with his cousins. It's something he keeps in the back of his mind -- he got tired of it real quick -- and it's one of the reasons why he excels at contested catches
