Ricky gives me the vibe like he is one of those people that doesn’t know how to lie to himself or not speak his mind & I respect that

I always thought of Ricky Williams as the new breed of NFL player: he was the first player with the dreds…now plenty of players rock dreds

He is a real one. I'm as much a fan of the off the field Ricky as I am of the on the field version.

Loved listening to this. I first saw Ricky in a Craniosacral therapy program video. So great to see his mind lit up and hear his articulation.

When you play football at this level you’re taking your life into your own hands every time you strap on a helmet. To be successful you have to ignore every natural human impulse for fear and safety. Not all players are able to turn off that switch for regular life and this is what the world ignores. They see you as big and tough but they don’t understand the challenges and organizations like the NFL do not prioritize this because they make billions off the men who can cutoff regular human impulse (for safety and life). It’s a very vicious cycle and RW is articulating it well
