00:00Evolution, it's where we were, and where we still have to go.
00:14To really understand the evolution
00:16of the black quarterback, I needed to take a journey.
00:20Charlie Ward.
00:21Ward.
00:23Across America.
00:24What's up, my man?
00:25Across history.
00:28Well, let's get to it.
00:30Playing quarterback, it was a position of leadership.
00:32They didn't want African-Americans
00:34having that type of power.
00:37We had some guys that paved the way for us.
00:39Fritz Pollard.
00:39Marlon Briscoe.
00:40Doug Williams.
00:41Randall Cunningham.
00:41Warren Mould.
00:43The black quarterback showed that you
00:45can play the position like nobody had ever seen before.
00:49Guys like you showed that whatever your dream is,
00:51you can go and achieve it.
00:53Being a black quarterback is something
00:54that I don't take for granted.
00:56Playing quarterback really taught me how to persevere.
01:00We all got a responsibility to the next generation.
01:03It's about how can you pass the torch when
01:05the game is ended for you.
01:08Tell me a little bit about your high school career.
01:10I did throw a couple of interceptions.
01:15When I hear the term black quarterback,
01:16I think of revolution.
01:21They say we weren't smart enough.
01:23They say we couldn't lead.
01:25We're watching a story of struggle, a story of success.
01:30The black quarterback is a symbol of what's possible.
01:33History at Super Bowl 57.
01:35For the first time ever, two black quarterbacks
01:37will compete against each other.
01:44This is our moment.
01:45No better time to be great than today.
01:47If they write a story on the National Football League,
01:50could they leave you out of it?
01:54No.
01:55That's the impact.
01:58This is going to be unbelievable.
