Former quarterback Doug Williams has been reassigned within the Washington Redskins front office and will be named senior vice president of player development.

He had previously served as the team's senior vice president of player personnel since 2017 and has been in the personnel department since 2015. The new position allows him to work directly with the players as opposed to in the front office.

"We want to create an atmosphere that is all about the players," head coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. "Doug will be an invaluable asset in player development in making sure that all of our players have the guidance and resources needed to be successful on and off the field.
