Douglas Lee Williams (born August 9, 1955) is an American football<\/a> executive and former quarterback<\/a> and coach. Williams is best known for his performance with the Washington Redskins<\/a> in Super Bowl XXII<\/a> against the Denver Broncos<\/a>, where he was named Super Bowl MVP<\/a> after passing for 340 yards and four touchdowns, a single-quarter Super Bowl record which he set in the second quarter, making him the first black quarterback<\/a> to both start and win a Super Bowl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Douglas is a natural leader with a confident and commanding presence … very well-coached by Eddie Robinson<\/a>. Knows the game and has a real desire to learn more … just has what it takes for guys to want to follow him … ideal composure for a quarterback. Has a big-time arm with perfect passing mechanics from head to toe … back foot is consistent and perpendicular to hips on every throw with a fluid release. Makes all the throws. Can really throw it deep with touch and accuracy … was a pitching prospect<\/a> … Has very rare arm strength and overall talent … Douglas will have one of the strongest arms in the league from the day he’s drafted. Great person. Professors spoke highly of his classroom preparedness. Attentive student that likes to sit in the front of the classroom. Currently a student teacher in Monroe<\/a> and wants to coach in the future. Hard worker. Very academic, studious … takes lots of notes and processes information very quickly. Team-oriented and mentally tough … really football smart and extremely prepared. Just very impressive.”<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A record number of African American quarterbacks started for their teams last season. And it all happened with little fanfare, which begs the question: Is race still a factor in the evaluation of NFL quarterbacks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harold Warren Moon (born November 18, 1956) is an American former gridiron football<\/a> quarterback<\/a> who played professionally for 23 seasons. He spent the majority of his career with the Houston Oilers<\/a> of the National Football League<\/a> (NFL) and the Edmonton Eskimos<\/a> of the Canadian Football League<\/a> (CFL). In the NFL, Moon also played for the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>, Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, and Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moon began his professional career with the Eskimos in 1978<\/a> due to not generating interest from NFL teams during that year’s draft<\/a>, where he would go unselected. His success during his six CFL seasons, five of which ended in Grey Cup<\/a> victories, resulted in him being signed by the Oilers for 1984<\/a>.<\/sup> Over his 17 NFL seasons, Moon was named to nine Pro Bowls<\/a>, received first-team All-Pro<\/a> honors in 1990<\/a>, and made seven playoff appearances. He spent ten seasons with the Oilers and had brief stints with the Vikings, Seahawks, and Chiefs before retiring in 2000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time of his retirement, Moon held several all-time professional gridiron football passing records<\/a>. Although relatively unsuccessful in the NFL postseason, his five consecutive Grey Cups from 1978 to 1982 remains a CFL record and he was twice named Grey Cup MVP<\/a>. Moon was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame<\/a> in 2006, becoming the first African-American quarterback and the first undrafted quarterback to receive the honor. He is also the only player inducted to both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 1974, James Harris became the first black quarterback to start and win an NFL playoff game.<\/sup> Midway through the 1976 season, Harris was benched by his team’s owner, Carroll Rosenbloom<\/a>, who explained his decision by telling the press, “Unfortunately, the quarterback position is controversial enough without adding the color element.” After retiring, Harris became an executive for four teams and earned a Super Bowl ring in 2000 with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warren Moon<\/a>, who made seven playoff appearances, was the first black quarterback elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/sup> During his NFL career (1984\u20132000), he was the first black quarterback on four different teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2018\u20132019 playoffs featured five starting black quarterbacks, the most in NFL history.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n
