Highly unusual, but highly talented individual who really had no chance to succeed in New Orleans. Thanks to the asinine trade maneuvering of Mike Ditka, RW had expectations placed on him that very few could have lived up to. Still managed to have a 10,000 yard rushing career. Here's a very interesting article about Ricky centering on the year he spent in exile in Toronto: Toronto News: When Ricky Williams met Arlene Vandersloot - thestar.com
I have always liked Rickey Williams, and think that he is a genuinely good guy. Shame on the NFL and the media for making him out to be a villain, when he was his own person.
Enjoyed the linked article. I can't say that I was ever a "fan" of Ricky Williams but think he's a very interesting guy that was unfairly labeled by the media. It's possible the best is yet to come for him.
I'd have bet real money that you would be the first person to respond to the thread about the weed-head. :wave:
