With Ron Rivera the head coach of the Washington Redskins now, he may want to bring back some Carolina Panthers flair to his staff. According to a report from Jason LaCanfora, the Washington Redskins interviewed former Panthers athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion.
I understand that Rivera wants to have familiar people with him in the organization. Normally, I wouldn’t advocate for an athletic trainer to leave an organization. Especially if the players are familiar with the trainer, I would be more weary. However, given the Panthers reluctance to report injuries over the past couple of years, I wouldn’t be upset to see him go.
