Means nothing because he was playing for a racist organization at that time. There are plenty if other Black firsts in football and sports far more significant than this.

Yes...Dougie certainly made this ex Washington fan proud. #HTTR. (Raiders now). 1st Blk QB drafted in the first round. First Black NFL HC Art Shell, First Black Female President Sandra Douglass Morgan(now).

Joe Gillium, as a backup for Terry Bradshaw, won 2 Superbowl rings. Folks always forget him.

I don't know if anyone looked cooler than Doug Williams in his Tampa jersey circa early 80's

I remember that game. Lots of records set that day. Denver scored on their first play from scrimmage, a Super Bowl record. The rest of the many records were set by Doug and the Redskins. 35 points in the second quarter.

He also led a horrible Tampa Bay team to the playoffs. He was a hugely underrated QB.

Fun Fact: QB Joe Gilliam won two Super Bowls in the 70s with the Steelers. He was the first black QB but did not start the entire season. Doug Williams is the first to START and win the Super Bowl. 😉

He was a great player.

A brilliant 3rd quarter!

jct212.bsky.social•21 days ago

He also scored the most points in a quarter in SuperBowl history

And I believe he set a record at the time for throwing five touchdown passes.

Doug Williams was also the first black QB to *start* in a Super Bowl.

Doug Williams was awesome, but nobody knew it for years because he was buried in Tampa during their sucky early years.

spartanfan056.bsky.social•21 days ago

Doug Williams wasn't an African American.

Doug Williams was born in Zachary, Louisiana. Doug Williams was not born in Africa.

keyuzo.bsky.social•21 days ago

I remember when the Bucs (my hometown team) traded him because the stupid coach said, and I quote, "he threw too hard"

People in Tampa still spit at the mention of that asshole 🤬
