🤎 ‘BLACK STORIES  We Should All Know’

🏈 In 1988 DOUG WILLIAMS became the FIRST BLACK QUARTERBACK to start, play, WIN, and become MVP in a Super Bowl

🏈 In 1986 - as a backup quarterback - he only threw ONE PASS the entire season and it was incomplete (wasn’t his fault though😝)

🏈In 1987 his Washington coach told him he was going to be traded to the RAIDERS but the coach changed his mind.

🦷The day before the Super Bowl Doug had a FOUR HOUR ROOT CANAL

🗣️”Before every game I would eat a bag of Hersheys Kisses….” - Doug Williams (Lesley Visser Official)

*he still ate them after the  ROOT CANAL but on the opposite side😘😘😘

🗣️”In the 2nd quarter we only made 18 plays but SCORED 35 POINTS.” - Doug Williams (Lesley Visser Official)

🏈🏈🏈 After the game he saw his former coach EDDIE ROBINSON (Grambling State University) in the tunnel (he didn’t even know he was there) and they both cried🩷🩷🩷
