    Doug Williams played three seasons for the Redskins, becoming the first African-American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl and earning MVP honors for his performance in Washington's Super Bowl XXII victory

    The timing wasn't right in 2010 when Doug Williams started talking to the Washington Redskins about a front-office position. But it was right in 2014. And, after talking for a few weeks, the Redskins and Williams finally agreed on a deal.

    The Redskins hired Williams to become a personnel executive under general manager Bruce Allen, bringing back a piece of the franchise's storied past. Williams quarterbacked the Redskins to a Super Bowl win after the 1987 season. He became the first African-American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl and earned MVP honors after passing for 340 yards and four touchdowns in the Redskins' 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos.

    "It's great to be home again," Williams said in a news release. "I have only one mission: to help this team obtain the talent it needs so the fans can experience the Super Bowl they deserve."
