No he wasn't. He was the first black QB to ever win a super bowl. He helped the Redskins win Super Bowl 22

Joe Namath was a mother fu*** pimp back in the day.  His stats don't add up to some other quarterbacks, but his coolness factor is unmatched.  He was probably the first "rebellious" professional athelete.  He had leadership skills and balls.  Sometimes to win in football, that's all you need.  Numbers don't always tell the entire story.

Rodney Williams was a punter in NFL Europe in 2000-2002 and I think he was signed by the Giants for the following season. There was also Reggie Roby but I think he is dead now.Both were African American. As far as a white running back, there are plenty of fullbacks that have been white, not many halfbacks though. If you don't mind retired, there's Merrill Hoge, Darryl Johnston, John Riggins (I think he was actually a fullback but did most of the carries for the redskins during his playing years). Franco Harris was Italian and shared a backfield with Rocky Blier for the Steelers in the 70's. They were pretty good. As far as playing now, other than Nick Goings on Carloina, I don't believe there's any of note in either category.

Deuce has more acclaimation than Reggie, sure he did well in college- but how many big name college RBs couldn't hack it in the NFL? I give Deuce the advantage, and yes he will start.

as far as I know, none. Black players weren't allowed to play in the NFL until the late 40s/early 50s, although that may actaully be later. But none played with the Eagles then.

Here is an article that I found, it is from 1997 but the numbers shouldn't be all that farr off players-wise.  However, it also goes into blacks on the business side and I think those numbers have gotten better.\n\nI have enclosed a second link.  It takes you to articles done on ESPN.com by Doctor Richard Lapchick.  I just so happen to go to UCF where he runs the DeVos Sports Institute with an emphasis on community involvement.  He has been involved in sports and civil rights for the past almost 40 years and if you are asking this question out of a couriosity about the issue of diversity and sports then I would definitely check out some of his articles and google his name for even more.  I have seen him speak twice and he is truly an awesome person.
