Report: Former Washington QB Doug Williams to Become Subject of Biopic

Former Washington QB Doug Williams, the first Black quarterback to win the Super Bowl, will be the subject of a new sports movie biopic, according to Deadline's Andreas Wiseman.

The film will reportedly track Williams' journey to the NFL, where he became the first Black QB to be selected in the first round of the draft. When Williams debuted for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he also became the only starting Black QB in the NFL and he later made history when Washington won the Super Bowl in 1988.

Will Packer Productions will produce the film, per Deadline.
