While Doug Williams has links with the Redskins dating back to 1986 when Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs decided to bring in the quarterback to eventually lead the team to a Super Bowl XXII championship, Tuesday marked a new chapter in his life in Washington.
Williams was promoted to Senior Vice President of Player Personnel after serving in the role of Senior Personnel Executive for the last three seasons (2014-16). He will be tasked with overseeing a restructured personnel department and help build up a competitive football team for head coach Jay Gruden to work with on the field.
