Doug Williams, the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl, said he got emotional when he heard that Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes would make football history as the first Black quarterbacks to square off in a Super Bowl.
Williams won the Most Valuable Player award in Super Bowl 22 as a member of the then-Washington Redskins. His NFL career spanned nine total seasons with stops in Washington and Tampa Bay from 1978-1989.
Williams isn't alone. Fellow Black athletes joined him in honoring the matchup, with Magic Johnson calling it "a historic moment" and former quarterback Warren Moon tweeting "We've come a long way." "You bring in all of these coaches to interview for a sham, at end of the day you already know who you are going to hire," Williams said. "That’s the tragedy of what is going on in the NFL is the black coach isn’t getting a chance"
