Former Redskins quarterback and current VP of player development Doug Williams will have a biopic made about him.

Doug Williams‘ name will forever be etched into Redskins and NFL lore for his heroics during the 1988 Super Bowl.

After starting just two regular-season games, both losses, for the ‘Skins, Williams was named the starter over Jay Schroeder for the 1988 postseason.
