- Ricky Williams came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, where he spoke to Shawn Prez about growing up with his parents, who got together when they were young, and were married by 19. Ricky addressed his parents getting divorced when he was young and realizing he was a gifted athlete at a young age, but he didn’t realize his full potential until he was in college. Ricky then went on to speak about balancing his career in minor league baseball while also playing football at the University of Texas. Ricky then addressed turning down going into the NFL Draft as the number one pick his junior year, and instead staying in Texas with the plan to break various records. Speaking about the NFL Draft the following year and being the fifth overall pick to the New Orleans Saints, which Ricky said he was disappointed about because he wanted to be the number one pick. Ricky also spoke about signing with Master P’s No Limit Sports, retiring from the NFL in 2004, and what his life has been like since. To hear his full story, hit the above video.

The media made us think Ricky Williams was crazy dope head. He is not. That brother is very intelligent. He has his own mind and he don't ride the wave like everyone else. An independent thinker. We need more brothers like him. God bless him.
tiki barber was pretty smart for retiring early but his broadcasting career didnt pan out.
Great interview. What a sensitive and deeply intelligent man
Sexually abused
The white media has always tried to paint black men in a negative light.
Ricky is a beautiful soul
What a beautiful human being Ricky Williams is.
The Man. 🙏
Great reck on the field. Was traded for multiple picks lol
He’s got a pure soul, but was dealing with a lot of souless people
Thats a fact

Man...so much of that in this world.
So many turds out there, but a lot of Great people and I do feel like the odds of more & more good to great people in this world is constantly building & improving.
Just have to trust your instincts and stay away from turds. 🤙
Dang man thats how i feel at work
Couldnt have said it better
Ricky Williams, San Diego native, he will be remembered as a legend, no matter how you slice it, and he is a true 1 of 1. His humble individuality is incomparable.
Facts they said the Heisman trophy winner and 5th round draft pick Rick Williams has retired from the NFL to smoke Marijuana
Isaiah 47 12:15. Tell him the truth. Romans 1:18 . Don't stifled the truth.
Followed Ricky since Alvarado football. You can tell he speaks from his heart and is humble. "God don't make junk". There's nothing wrong with me! "Go where your celebrated and not tolerated". Words of wisdom and maturity.
"Money comes and money goes but Dignity and self respect is something valuable that stays with you your whole life"...Facts
Well said 👍
The interviewer sounds like Cleveland’s son 🤣😂
This was the first comment I seen before the video even started so you can imagine how hard I laughed when I heard the interviewer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol u silly!
Damn, I can't unhear it now!!! 🤣
Lmaoo pinned comment and now I can't watch this the same way 😂🤣😂
This is what happens when you create a persona instead of just BEING
This Dude is a REAL STRESS FREE HUMAN BEING! Damn, I didn’t think they still existed!😳😂
seems like a very nice guy, which is probably why he appears so "stress free," i.e., probably has nothing to feel guilty about.
BRUH... like something you only see in the movies
🙋🏾♂️
Hes is going to live a long time.
This man definitely was a beast in his time 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
They had a football game credits to nfl n he was the best player to play with on there lol
What an incredible person. It's so refreshing to come across someone who says he doesn't care about money and whose actions back up this sentiment.
I always liked this man growing up because he had my name. But ive learned to appreciate who he is as a person. Humble, healthy and happy...cant beat that
He's a very balanced person
His level of self-awareness and honesty is exceptional! Incredibly likeable!
I remember Ricky Williams spoke in 2015 on 60 minutes and he came across as a 'Stoned Pony" whose primary interest was weed. Excellent interview here as Ricky is a deep thinker without ego with strong spiritualism. Ricky Williams was very talented running back in the NFL but did not accomplish what his talent held for him. Ricky comes across as an honest dude and is easy yo like.
Bye design they played him
Ricky came across well in this interview! A genuinely nice guy.
Definitely
His outlook is amazing. So many of us me included live so miserably because we are so stressed about money. I’ve never had anywhere close to 6 or 8 million. This man lost millions and didn’t let it make him miserable. Thank you Ricky. You’ve given me a new perspective. I’m going to try my best to not let losing a 20 or rent ruin my days. I’m gonna try. TRY. Oh man I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it lol.
This guy is an advance human being. Bravo Ricky🙏🏽💪🏽😊
@A Aaron Vasquez ..Astrology is real..Your catholic beliefs are not
Black people are an advanced people someone us just don't know it
@@bikobantu3104 You make a great point. I think all people are capable of advanced spirituality.
Prez is one of the best interviewers! Doesn’t interrupt, asked great questions, and analysis well.
One of thr best talking human beings I've ever heard. So much confidence and self awareness and humility. Great interview.
Bro. I've learned so much from Ricky and this interview. He said, have the courage to be yourself and people will eventually give you the space to do so. I am similar to him in many ways. Misunderstood and spiritual...I share some of his same problems...without a public profile. Mustve been hard for the king. Thank you Mr Williams
He really helped my Dolphins get lots of wins Thank you Mr Williams to me you’re the best running back ever
Yes !!!!
Lol you own the dolphins?
I wouldn’t argue that with anyone. Anyone can look at the tape and come out and say he’s the greatest they ever saw. I love Ricky Williams and he’s a true role model from actions to words
Def my favorite dolphin player
Uhh bro I think you missed the point
Outstanding!!! Thank you Ricky Williams for being the person you are.
What a well balanced human. So, impressed with this interview. Last half hour a must watch.
Ricky is such a special human being! This world needs more people like him. Run Ricky run!!
My brother pitched in high school against Williams.Ricky went to Patrick Henry ,my brother went to Junipero Serra high.Ricky was a beast at baseball.
Can you imagine having enough money to be a world traveler for the rest of your life that would be a dream come true.
Ricky Williams Is One Of My Favorite NFL Running Backs Of All-time Dope Interview Thank You For Helping Us N New Orleans Saints Who Dat
Always loved Ricky Williams, his tenacity, his inner strength, his humbleness and honesty. Just a great human being all around.
Great interview. I've been a Dolphins fan since 1980 and appreciate Ricky's time in Miami. I fondly recall his 200-yard game in Buffalo. I still have his jersey. I also think the interviewer was excellent.
GREAT Interview. I love this dude and I have always understood his differences. Glad you are still doing well
I remember meeting him my 1st Semester at Nova Southeastern University in 2009 where the Dolphins trained at in the Offseason. He enrolled in classes there to finish his Degree. If you had no idea who he was you would never think he was even interested in Sports. Used to walk around Campus by himself like its was nothing and would talk to anybody. It was surreal to see at thst time
A deep, thoughtful man who recognized that life is unpredictable and success is defined by one's ability to accept fortune and misfortune with equanimity.
I live in Houston so obviously tracked Ricky's story. I have a new respect for him after hearing his thoughts and views.
He marched to his own beat strangely mike ditka understood him.
Probably because Ditka saw a bit of himself in Ricky. Ditka was a different breed himself but too bad their union was short-lived.
I was with him until he said that he likes a little confrontation in his marriage. His first wife seemed like a ideal woman. No arguing, handles business, consistent personality, always remaining the same person. Just goes to show you, what some people would cherish, other people consider it HELL.
Love this interview , he lets the guests speak without interrupting.
This interview is by far one of my favorites on Vladtv. Ricky Williams the tinted mask classic . Love the Dolpins and admire Ricky Williams the person even more. I always admired athletes for the God given talent but I like his outlook on life. 7m stole and wasn't even vexed about it. Insane outlook.
Ricky Williams mad respect.
I remember seeing Ricky in person back when he played at Texas. He looked like a bodybuilder back then the guy was huge, pure muscle. He really hit the genetic lottery. I think he's got the soul of an artist .He was always an eccentric guy.
Great interview....very insightful
This is a great interview. The questions are as interesting as the answers
Inspirational. Thank you.
Great interview!
The best MIAMI dolphins RB EVER.. Top 10 College Running Back ALL TIME
He's 1 college wise and it's not fucking close. Dudeman was putting up 250 yards and plowing through people when it mattered.
Larry Csonka • Jim Kiick • Mercury Morris
@@PInk77W1 Is that joke? Ricky Williams runs circles around Larry Csonka and definitely those other guys.

@@heydudedolfan13 the dolphins played team ball. I never liked Marino, he always threw interceptions at the worst time.
Griese not so much.
Winning is the name of the game.
Stats don’t mean Jack
great interview
This was a truly great interview, Ricky is an awesome Dude.
Rickey you're an AMAZING human being. Great Interview!
Much respect for Ricky Williams! Such a fan on and off the field.🙏🏽🙌🏽 And Shawn Prez is a much better interviewer then Vlad. No disrespect to you Vlad!
Interesting interview. I didn't know his story so very glad GLAD got him to do this interview. I love how these interviews take us back to the beginning of a persons journey, we get to know them in a sense.
Man I appreciate the hell out of you Ricky Williams. This interview really has hit me in my heart. Resonates so much for me in my life right now. Thank you for being who you are. Much respect!
Stellar human being despite situations that would break most people. Inspiration to say the least thank you for this, both Mr. Williams and VladTV.🦁
very good interview.
Highest paid rookie ever would have sent no limit sports to a whole new level
WHY AM I NOW FINDING OUT ABT RICKY?!! Man was always manifesting abt his future whats the next step to find his Inter self. My man was a different breed 😳🤯
Great perspective
Ricky really reintroduce us to him for the first time🤔👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🤘🏿✌🏿❤
I loved this interview, please more shit like this from Vladtv. It’s motivating
Ricky's perspective is refreshing and awesome, and it's great to see him spreading such positive vibes
Ricky Williams was one of the first NFL players I knew because he was on the NFL Street cover, so he automatically became one of my first favorite players, I was confused as a kid though because it seemed like he would just always come back and disappear and somehow still be playing for the Dolphins, I didn't really know about the suspensions or retirement as I remember first finding out about Canadian football and seeing Ricky Williams there and I was just wondering why he was there and not in the NFL, I'm glad to have some more insight to him as a person because he is a very interesting person
One of the best interview on Vlad TV i watched it all.
I agree❤💜💙💛💕💗🙂
Same! Usually, I don't sit through it all but I couldn't pull away from this one. It was EXcellent!!
@@anthonyriche552 Absolutely
Dope interview, dope soul!
I like Ricky. The intervening years have been good in society for society to be more accepting of differing people. He’s a good man. Much respect to the character of this man
What a good interview! Ricky is a generational talent as a football player and man.. god bless ma brother
One time for Ricky,dawg was a beast yo
The first beast mode.
Love this
Man I love Ricky Williams
Such a humble dude on + off the field
I still remember he'd completely run over defenders and help them get up, never bragged, never cocky just truly a great person all around
He is my Jim Brown ✊🏽
I remember playing Ricky Williams as a Freshman when he was a Senior (Morse vs Patrick Henry) and always rooted for him. The media did him foul, so glad he still has the spirit he did back in the 90s. A 5'11, 225lb RB/LB 2 way starter back then....he was a man amongst boys even back then 💯💯
He just might be the most positive person in the world. He is an Inspiration
I really like this interviewer..great job!👍🏿👏🏿
I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Mr. Williams. He IS A WONDERFUL GUY! Nice as can be! Would have never thought it was THIS guy who's helmet-to -Helmet clash/contact could be heard around world! TOUGH RUNNING BACK#34
Tuned in
I think this man would totally get and understand me especially with how I feel and think about money. The stuff is just not important to me. Life is too much of an awesome experience to have to live it working for money
No offence to shawn prez which did a good job. But I think Ricky Williams is the type of person that deserves the reapect by being interviewed by the person the channel is named after. Maybe there is something im missing but i hope vlad didnt dismiss Ricky as someone not worth interviewing. Becuz thats the furthest thing from the truth. He is the MAN. He is pure and genuine to the core and a phenomenal athlete. I am going to continue to watch ONLY becuz Im a HUGE Ricky Williams Fan
Much love to Ricky! He’s a real one!!!
Always thought Williams was a bit weird growing up and he is, but he embraces it as a part of who he is and I rock with him for that.
Weird?
@@TheHenok123 DId I say something different? 🤔
Yea bro was a lil odd lol and he had very bad business decisions lmaoo all respect tho but man it’s like bro chose every wrong path every chance he had😭
One of my all time favorite running backs !!! Ricky was very Fun to watch !!
This man should literally be the leader of the black community. Young black men should be striving to be like this man. Ricky Williams u are a true role model
Nope!
All time best vibe, wisest NFL player.
I always liked Ricky. He was a killer when he was motivated on the field.
Ok, this was a FANTASTIC and much NEEDED interview !!! GREAT questions ! I remember Ricky back in the day and felt SO BAD for him for all the mess he went through in his career. When it comes to the MONEY, HE definitely STILL needs somebody to protect him and his decision making. I would want Peggy's HEAD on a STICK if she robbed me! I would NEVER let that shit go! He is definitely one of a kind.🙄
I never knew he came from a super religious family. Crazy childhood. I really feel for Ricky. So good to see he came out the other side with some normalcy and self awareness.
Ricky is truly a great person!
Shawn Pres did a good job with this. Ricky is amazing
Ricky well thought out man
I feel I understand Ricky a whole lot better after this interview.
Shawn Perez - great interview!!!
I always wanted to know the real story behind Ricky. Great story. Great Guy!!!!
This interviewer did a great job. The interview was about the guess not the interviewer inserting himself in every other question. Awesome guest.
TEXAS!!!.....FIGHT!!! TEXAS!!!...FIGHT!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽RICK was cold blooded in the football field and has a strong mind much respected for him f the nfl they were just using him.
He should gave more views then this, very insightful interview
Wow Ricky good stuff great answere
Y’all hating on someone’s voice that they can’t change
Internet bullies
Smoking weed stunts your emotional intelligence. Makes you talk like a kid
Very smart man and very insightful good soul...I was raised very similar I lov show he thinks
Ricky's a great person man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is why My 1st ever NFL or any Football players jersey is a Ricky Williams 34 Miami Jersey
Even though Barry Sanders has always been My All Time Favorite Player of any kind & The Lions are My Team , Marshall Faulk is next , but Ricky is right there and they all 3 have always struck a different cord with me other than just a favorite football player, that’s why they are my favorites, because they’re not only the best to ever do it on The Field , but they all 3 are so unique, real & genuine as Human beings, they’re just different. Fresh Da Def.
Still have that jersey of Rick’s and hope to always have it.
I have a Barry OSU jersey to my collection now as well , so I just need to get a Marshall Faulk jersey and I need to put them all in frames. @ least the 2 for now lol , until I get a Faulk jersey. 🤙
Much respect to this dude! Shame on the media for how they try to play this guy. That’s why you never believe what you hear on the media
He needs to write a book! Just what I heard so far would make a great movie 🎥
we’re all lucky to be here. but this is a special human being.
Awesome interview. His CBD balm is sooo good. Great for aches and pains. 👍.
My all time fave college football player and Top 5 favorite NFL rb's.....If he made it his focus he coulda been one of the GOATS easily
Dudes just a good person. Respect 💯
I love the way this man sees life.
