For the first time ever, two Black quarterbacks will face off at the Super Bowl championship, the moment showcases the difficult road Black people had in pro football history and how far they've come.
For the first time ever at an NFL Super Bowl championship game, both teams will field starting quarterbacks who are Black.
"It's a proud moment for me, no question about it," the NFL and CFL veteran told CTV's Your Morning on Friday. "I know what African-American quarterbacks have gone through over the past maybe 60, 70 years." "We really noticed a lot of the underlying facts were people did not want African-Americans being in that position of leadership," he said. "Well, those barriers have been broken now and now we're in the biggest game that's in sports, which is a Super Bowl, and we have two young African-American men leading their organizations into this game."African-American quarterbacks are "thriving" in the NFL now.
