Ricky Williams almost as good as Josh Hamilton

As I was watching the Miami Dolphins play against the Denver Broncos in an NFL game, I started to think about the redemptive story of Ricky Williams. Coming out of college he was the top running back. But, after a couple of seasons he retired from the NFL and got into drugs. A couple of years later, he tried to get back into the league but was denied because of a failed drug test. He later entered into a rehabilitation center and just last year he was finally reinstated into the league. This year he is making an impact on the team and in the community. He is now speaking to kids in the community about drugs, and his story. Also, earlier this year when the team had a week of he said that he thought about smoking Marijuana but decided against it. I thought this was another step forward on his way up because he realizes that he has a problem and dealt with it. This is one of a million of the stories but is magnified by his status which is a good thing.
