So what happened to Sam Mills III? He left for Canton last week to attend his late father’s posthumous induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the Washington Commanders defensive line coach and returned to Ashburn to find out he was fired.
Did someone get in Mills’ ear out there and tell him, “Hey, you’re the one who should be running that Commanders defense. Jack Del Rio, he doesn’t have a clue. Plus he’s crazy, you know.”
Maybe. Who knows? The reason for the firing of Mills, announced Tuesday by Commanders head coach Ron Rivera, in the middle of training camp still hangs out there like a Carson Wentz incomplete pass.
