Washington's Jack Del Rio: My Views on Player Opt-Outs Wouldn't Sit Well in NFL

Jack Del Rio, the defensive coordinator for the Washington Football Team, refused to comment on players opting out of the 2020 NFL season because of health concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"I have personal views that would probably not sit well with my professional occupation right now," he told Ben Standig of The Athletic on Monday. "I think I'll just leave it like that."

Two members of Washington's defense, lineman Caleb Brantley and linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons, have opted out of the campaign.

Del Rio also discussed his use of Twitter to engage in conversations about polarizing topics, which created controversy in June.
