Last night I watched an episode of A Football Life on NFL Network featuring Doug Williams. The episode took viewers on a journey with Williams, through his formative years, his college days at Grambling, struggles as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, changing times in the USFL and then victoriously through Doug’s championship season as a member of the Washington Redskins – one that culminated with a Super Bowl XXII title and game MVP.
Much of the program focused upon Williams as not just a quarterback, but a black quarterback.
