The Washington Commanders have hired Eugene Shen as their senior vice president of football strategy.

Shen will oversee their analytics as well as the software development on the football side. 

He has worked for three other NFL organizations. He was the director of analytics for the Miami Dolphins 2019-21 and for the Baltimore Ravens 2014-19. He served as the vice president of football analytics with the Jacksonville Jaguars 2021-22.

In a 2021 ESPN study, Washington was named one of the least analytically advanced teams -- tied with the Cincinnati Bengals and ahead of only the Tennessee Titans.
