This is why you can't listen to the media. Ricky was a BEAST coming out of college and the media tore him down for smoking weed and making him out to be "crazy ricky". Dude just values his mental and physical health more than football. Respect.
Every time I see or hear Ricky Williams I remember my 5th grade teacher. She is my FAVORITE teacher I’ve ever had and she was a HUGE Ricky Williams fan. She was a Dolphins fan but Ricky was her favorite player. I remember I got a Ricky Williams trading card in a pack one day and gave it to her and she LOVED it. Love you Ms. Ames!
As a life long Dolphins fan, Ricky was the man. I wore his jersey to every jersey day as a kid and still have the jersey at my parents house. Glad to see him doing well...much love.
Most of the time, these GQ pieces has some athlete or artist showing off his jewelry or some expensive accessory but my man Ricky was showing off his book collection on Kindle. Never have ever seen anyone show off their BOOKS. We need more Ricky Williams in the world.
I've seen quite a few people show off books. I don't think people are as shallow as you lead on. Also, Ricky showed off some Gucci. If you've the money to afford such luxury items, why not treat yourself every now and again to great quality?
dood was an absolute stud RB and a really nice soft spoken guy , everyone thought he was crazy because he liked doin his own thing.. glad hes doing well after football
Ricky was such a great athlete, but he was so much more than just a football player. One of the greatest minds, I’ve ever seen. He was not just one of the guys that threw money at a team of people and say hey invest this, he literally went out on his own to create his own dreams. 🤘🏽
As an Australian.......sir, your taste in Ginger Beer is to be applauded!! You might have chosen it preferentially for its packaging, however you also managed to find the BEST ginger beer available!! It truly is #1 👏👏👏
When I was in HS and he stopped playing for weed I thought he was dumb, a pothead.... Now at 36 I totally get it, mindfulness over everything. I respect dude even more now
Ricky is the type of person everyone should strive to be. Constantly bettering yourself is the best thing you can do for you and those around you. Too many people nowadays think too highly of themselves and stagnate which leads to misery and lashing out at those around you.
As a Dolphan I've always been a Ricky Williams fan. So glad he came back for a second run with the Phins - revolutionized the league with wildcat he & Ronnie Brown
"Growing up in San Diego it was pretty much everywhere but I also grew up in the 80s and 90s so I learnt to say 'no' to drugs, and then I went to College" had me in fits, I feel ya, bro.
One of the most important sports media persons in Toronto said on many occasions that RW was the most intelligent and reflective athlete he had to interact with on a regular basis.
Glad for all the memories #34. My fav Dolphins rb. Love that you’re a coder. An essential skill that is useful nowadays. I write in SQL and Powershell. Currently learning PHP. Miami Dolphins legend forever!
What a beautiful human being. I’d love to be in his presence and experience life the way he does. He’s in such an enlightened place with calm and peace. I want that. This has been my favorite one. ❤
Hated how they vilified this dude. He always seemed like such a great, chill, human being. I used to always have the cherry chapstick but I now do Burts Bees pomegranate.
This was a joy to watch! Gucci (Alessandro Michele) should supply him with a new pair of slides every year! GQ please pass this on to the Gucci brand. Congratulations Ricky on your past and new journey! Peace and Blessings.
Craziest thing is I refused to smoke weed cause I was a Dolphins fan and Ricky left to smoke bud. I thought weed was like heroin because of that. Finally smoked in 10th grade and then I realized. Rick is nothing short of the FUCKIN MAN. Dude did what he wanted and eliminated the chance of CTE. Dude was such a bruiser he would’ve taken a lot of head trauma if he played out his whole career. Much love to RICKY!! You will always be my favorite NFL player!!

He could have had a gold jacket and a bust. I mean he did run for 10,008 yards which is hard to do. He could have ran for 13,000 yards if he didn't get suspended and a season ending injury. Then again he rather be happy that beat his body to death.
Ricky is so kind and thoughtful I'm so glad to see that he's living a purposeful life
Ricky seems like a chill dude. Glad he's in a good place.
Dude high as a kite that's why he chill 😂😂😂
People that aren't always chill can be good people too

so much more than a ball player. Love he’s starting to see the fruits of his labor, great man
I swear this is the chillest man in human history. He’s way ahead of his time.

Respect to Ricky for finding his peace with life and was one of my favorite backs ever. Living Legend
Love listening to Ricky. He’s engaging and thoughtful. Always a fun and enlightening listen.
Loved Ricky as a Phins fan. Plus, I love the verbiage he uses when explaining his essentials. 🔥🐬⬆️
Ricky Williams was unstoppable on NFL Street

I so happy that Ricky found something he is truly passionate about.
When I was a kid I loved Rickey at Texas. Glad to see he’s doing well!

Rem watching him growing up, props to Ricky for surpassing that league. This was def the most authentic episode iv seen.
"Growing up in San Diego it was pretty much everywhere but I also grew up in the 80s and 90s so I learnt to say 'no' to drugs, and then I went to College" had me in fits, I feel ya, bro.
Love Ricky Williams he was a beast 💯
Ricky was a cheat code in NFL Street!
Love you Ricky. One of my favorite Dolphins ever. I'm so glad to see you in a good place and shedding light on the positive benefits of cannabis.
Looks like a cool and chill guy
my grandmother made her own ginger beer. it was spicy and delicious. ginger beer is also a fave of mine. one more thing to make me love Ricky!
I could listen to this dude talk forever haha he just has such a calm and soothing voice imo idk if that’s just me buuut yeah it’s relaxing lol.
I loved this guy growing up, but seeing him now I phucks with him even more.

Always have loved this dude. Nfl street cover was so fuckin dope with him on it. Glad he's doing really well
Bro was a founding father for za za
This video kind of encapsulates why Ricky Williams is my favorite footballer.
legend. radiates light.
This was an awesome episode! I want to get to the place where he's at! Well done Ricky Williams!!
Love Ricky Williams ❤
Ricky WIlliams will forever be one of my heros! Dude has the best energy and seems like such an awesome person to be around.
very brilliant man, salute.

That ginger beer is AWESOME! I drink that particular brand A LOT!
For such a soft spoken guy, Rickey always ran like he had that dawg in him 🐶
I really enjoyed this video, he’s a humble brother
Ricky is the Bill Walton of the NFL
What a great ambassador for cannabis. Ricky is thoughtful and articulate, and just seems so real.
Hated how they vilified this dude. He always seemed like such a great, chill, human being. I used to always have the cherry chapstick but I now do Burts Bees pomegranate.
Ricky Williams, the modern space hippie.
He is in my top 10 best running back of all time!
I bet he played the game high ash behind that dark visor 😂😂😂
Very underrated athlete he was a BEAST
Was always one of my favs. Even more so now.
This was a joy to watch! Gucci (Alessandro Michele) should supply him with a new pair of slides every year! GQ please pass this on to the Gucci brand. Congratulations Ricky on your past and new journey! Peace and Blessings.
Man this will forever change the way I look at Rickey Williams.
The definition of a person being misunderstood and misperceived..ricky personality would fot perfectly in this era if he was in his 20s
One of my favorite running backs of all time 💪🏿💪🏿
One of the best ! You know he was good they let him retire and when he came back it was a bidding war for him lol
This is so educational
That Za gave him that heisman 😂
Lmao
This guy needs to be in the Hall of Fame.
Goslings is the only ginger beer for me! A little Black seal rum! Dark n Stormy.. Bermuda baby!
I got that Ganjier jewelers’ loupe as well, great training
The man! The reason i wore #34. Run ricky run!

And he still managed to have a 10k career. 99.9% of all the RBs in history can’t say the same.
Much respect Ricky!
Cool bro! Blessed we brought him out to the rez for ceremony 🍄
8:07 - lol Ricky stole those shoes.
Love this guy.
He hit over 10,000 yards as a RB and he didn’t care lol.
I believe he was a better back than LT and TD.
Run Ricky Run.
I feel like he needs to be a life coach for the NFL. He seems so knowledgeable and soft spoken, it's like listening to Buddha speak
NFL street on PS2: If you know you know
He is too cool!
Love that guy.
Love this guy… stay Ricky
I drafted this guy in a dynasty league. He retired BEFORE the top of his game. I think I'm still bitter. Glad he is doing well though.
One of the last great RB to wear number 34!
Salud Ricky Williams my favorite football players real human ...
Love Ricky miss watching him stiff arm and break tackles all day long he was amazing! Seems at a peace love it !
LEGEND.
He should do a similar pose to the Heisman trophy and make that the logo for this company
Ayyy one of my fav players repping an Australian branded ginger beer, nice! Bundaberg is the best, grew up on the stuff here in Aus.
He has a real chill intelectual vibe. Now in his interview for “nfl documentary” he said he didn’t smoke in college. Lol.
Salute to Ricky and salute to Lebatard show 🫡
We need a Ricky/Andre3000 collab⛽️
Why couldn’t this video come out on 4/20 in honor of our guy Ricky
All time great on and off the field
The app isn't downloadable on all platforms
Was my favourite player to watch in his era at Texas dude was a problem for real.
Energy frequency and vibration 💫✨💫💚
I'm definitely a stoner but now I appreciate weed a little more... I want to get into growing It and helping ppl😊
This guy…has an iPhone 12. How great is that!!! Doesn’t need the newest gadgets!
