Ricky Williams doc on ESPN tonight
The life of two-time All-American and Heisman Trophy-winning former University of Texas running back Ricky Williams is explored in a gripping documentary premiering tonight on ESPN.
In ‘Run Ricky Run’, directors Sean Pamphilon and Royce Toni exploit their remarkable access to Williams, his family and physicians to tell a much more nuanced story than the one most of us are familiar with — that Williams is the guy who gave up pro football for marijuana.
As a few weeks’ worth of telephone interviews becomes five years of intimate examination, the film explores allegations of childhood abuse, Williams mental and marital states, his professional career with the Miami Dolphins and his post-NFL stint with the Toronto Argonauts.

‘Run Ricky Run’ debuts at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN.
