From posing in a wedding dress with Mike Ditka to one of the 12 most prolific rushing seasons in NFL history to the CFL and back again, Ricky Williams has authored arguably the most interesting careers in memory.
But after suggesting he'll retire again at the end of his latest contract extension (negotiated without an agent, of course), can we say Williams had a great career?
Eagles fans booed when their team picked Donovan McNabb ahead of Williams in the 1999 draft, but the former Longhorn wasn't even the first running back selected, courtesy of the Indianapolis Colts and Edgerrin James. More than a decade later, both are backing up younger runners, but will either or both make it to Canton?
- Vote: Will Adam "Pacman" Jones follow Williams' road of CFL redemption?
- Your Rankings: Who are this year's top fantasy running backs?
“The only thing missing from RW's stats is a NFL title. Other than that, he will be considered in the mix with the best when discussing the greats. The only thing that could possibly keep him outside the looking glass is if anyone wants to throw his personal issues in the hat to gauge his worth to the NFL.
