“A leader on and off the field," Williams said, per Thursday's announcement. "Thank you Patrick for supporting Historically Black Colleges & Universities.”

Details of the commitment were not included in the announcement.

Williams, an executive for the Washington Football team, was the first Black quarterback to lead a Super Bowl victory with Washington's win over the Denver Broncos in 1988. He played in college at HBCU Grambling State.
