Honored on Sunday will be Grambling State QB Doug Williams, the quarterback who broke one of those “unofficial” color barriers twenty years ago.


GLENDALE, Ariz. - We think little of it today, what with Warren Moon in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair having started in Super Bowls.
But there was a time when the words “black” and “quarterback” didn’t go so well together.
Doug Williams was the pioneer, at least in regards to the Super Bowl if not in all regards. He wasn’t the first black quarterback to start a game in NFL history, but he was the first to become a regular and the first to star on the game’s greatest stage.
The NFL will note the 20th anniversary of his MVP performance on Sunday when Williams takes part in the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation after Super Bowl XLII here between New England and the New York Giants.
