On this episode of Comeback Stories, Darren & Donny are joined by Ricky Williams, 1998 Heisman Trophy winner and fmr NFL All-Pro running back. Ricky talks about the road to achieving his childhood dream of playing professional football, and how when he reached the NFL...he was immediately searching for another dream to achieve.

Ricky talks about feeling a lack of purpose in being defined as only a "football player," and how his unpopular decisions around exiting the NFL brought him to true happiness. He dives deep into that pivotal moment where his life as a football player ended, a moment that freed him to pursue & accomplish goals that were unique to him.
