Trent Williams Says 49ers Were His Preferred Destination Before Washington Trade

A tumultuous end to star left tackle Trent Williams' tenure with the Washington Football Team eventually led to the team dealing him to the San Francisco 49ers in April a year after the seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro's initial trade request.

Williams sat down with Mike Jones of USA Today to discuss a number of topics regarding his new beginning, noting that he wanted to be a 49er all along.

"I think this was probably the best destination for me, and it was my No. 1 destination the whole time along, seeing where I would go," Williams told Jones.
