The Washington Commanders are hiring D. J. Williams as their new quarterbacks coach, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media.

Williams is the son of franchise legend Doug Williams, who was the Super Bowl XXII MVP during Washington’s 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. Doug Williams continues to serve the team as a senior advisor to the General Manager.

D. J. Williams most recently worked as the quarterbacks coach for the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons parted ways with head coach Raheem Morris following the season. Earlier in his career, Williams played quarterback under his father at Grambling State University and began his NFL coaching journey as an assistant with the New Orleans Saints in 2019.

In 2024, Williams joined the Falcons as an assistant quarterbacks coach and was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2025.

The Commanders were in need of a new quarterbacks coach after promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator. Blough took over the role after the team fired Kliff Kingsbury at the end of the season.
