DOUG WILLIAMS



Douglas Lee Williams (born July 28, 1955 in Zachary, Louisiana) is a well-known American football quarterback. Williams was best known for his MVP performance in Super Bowl XXII against the Denver Broncos.
Williams was the 17th overall pick of the 1978 NFL Draft, chosen by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Grambling State. He led the Bucs to three playoff appearances and one NFC title game from 1979 to 1982.
He led the Washington Redskins to Super Bowl XXII in which they routed the Denver Broncos, becoming the first black quarterback to play in a Super Bowl, and as of Super Bowl XLI, the only black quarterback to win one. Facing legendary Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, Williams engineered a 42-10 rout, in which the Redskins set an NFL record by scoring five touchdowns in the second quarter. Williams completed 18 of 29 passes for 340 yards, with four TD passes, and was named Super Bowl MVP.
