The Redskins, and the human motivations of Trent Williams’ holdout

It was unusual for a figure of his status, with his relation to the subject matter at hand, to speak with such finality. But on the issue of Trent Williams‘ mysterious holdout, that was all Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson had to say.

The interview was longer, but by that point, the substance had run dry. Peterson and Williams had both been enrolled with the Oklahoma Sooners in 2006. Close friends for over a decade, they had been reunited at Washington. But even Peterson could not bring the blindside blocker back.

Williams’ holdout remains as peculiar as it was when news first broke that Williams would not be attending Redskins minicamp.
