Doug Williams is a GREAT man, coach, husband, father, cousin, athlete, and my friend.
ESPN honors Doug Williams during black history month with a GREAT commercial that inspires, salutes, and celebrate the DREAM.
The legendary Doug Williams appeared on the ESPN special; Trailblazers “Past, Present, Future”. Doug Williams is a former NFL quarterback of the Washington Redskins and the Super Bowl XXII MVP. He was the first African American starting quarterback to capture a Super Bowl championship, which was a huge milestone for him, especially during that era because there weren’t many African American, quarterbacks in the NFL. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones also appeared on the short special alongside Doug Williams, who recently was the first quarterback to win the college playoff championship as they defeated the favorite Oregon Ducks on January 12, 2015. That moment was monumental for the two of them because they weren’t only the first to have achieved such success, but were also the first African Americans to not only participate and capture a victory in such distinctive games. Doug Williams and Cardale Jones pay homage for African American quarterbacks that beat the odds and reached achievements that will forever be recognized in Black History.
