GRAMBLING, Louisiana - Doug Williams had the finest day of his NFL career in 1988 when he guided the Washington Redskins to a 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII. Williams, a former Grambling State star, threw four touchdown passes in that game and was named the Super Bowl MVP. Moreover, he became the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl.His leadership and trailblazing efforts have opened the doors for a number of African-American quarterbacks. Williams couldn't have won a Super Bowl without receiving a good foundation that allowed him to polish his skills as a player and have a clear understanding of the game. He got his foundation from Grambling State coach Eddie Robinson. Williams is now carrying on the late Robinson's legacy as the coach of Grambling State. He is developing and shaping the lives of young players just like his mentor, and one of them is his son D.J. Williams.
Like his father, D.J. plays quarterback ...
