Aeneas Williams | March 23, 2022

From March 23, 2022:

Aeneas Williams is among the greatest defensive backs to ever play this game. A legendary cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, Aeneas finished his career as an All-Pro safety for the St. Louis Rams. Known as one of the hardest hitting players in NFL history, you've definitely seen his highlights. This is why Aeneas is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame - his lasting impact on the game is undeniable. The Cardinals legend joined Morten Andersen on the podcast this week, where he talked about his unique journey. What does he think of high-profile former NFL players coaching HBCU schools? What's going on with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals? Is Kliff Kingsbury the right guy in Arizona? What are his thoughts on Rams studs Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey? All of that, and more!
