There have been some bad vibes about Trent Williams lately because he is holding out from the Redskins. However, there is no denying that Williams is one of the best offensive linemen ever to play for the ‘Skins.

Williams was the fourth overall pick by the Redskins in the 2010 NFL Draft. Williams was the third Oklahoma player selected in the top-four picks in that draft class, but at the time, some were surprised that Williams went over the No. 6 overall pick, Russell Okung.

Williams was able to prove his doubters wrong. And more.

More from Commanders History

Throughout his career with the Redskins, Williams has played in 120 games and has started 119 games. He has played in double-digit games in every single season with the Redskins and has been named to seven consecutive Pro Bowls. He is widely regarded as one of the best left tackles in the NFL even as he prepares for his 10th season in the league.

The only thing that Williams is missing from his resume is a nod for the NFL All-Pro team. But he absolutely could’ve been named to one over the course of the past nine years. He has just lost out to some other deserving candidates year-in and year-out.

But as everyone can see from Williams’ streak of Pro Bowls made, he is still a top-tier player. And his sustained greatness over the course of a decade does enough to push him into the No. 2 position on this list.
