Trent Williams: The Washington Redskins Captain Made A Mistake

For me, it was Derek Jeter and Darrell Green. Those two guys embodied the definition of a leader and a captain.

This week, the Washington Redskins fan base learned that four time pro bowler Trent Williams would be suspended four games for violating the NFL substance abuse policy. Williams suspension comes not as a failed drug test, but a missed drug test. A missed drug test results in the same terms as a failed one, a four game suspension.

Williams, 28, is a co-captain and a veteran leader for the Redskins. As a co-captain, he’s held accountable at a much higher level.
